How to tell Vericut Jaws are Spinning?

We added a 'Z' axis Collision Detection in the Machine Setup and that works fine
for Drilling and Milling. How do you tell Vericut the Jaws are spinning in Turning Mode.

Thanks

Not sure if I got your question, but I think as long as the jaws are mounted in a chuck (And usually a chuck is mounted in a spindle component) Vericut will spin them while the turning spindle is active...

Be sure you have a Machine/Cut Stock view active. spindle rotation aren't shown in a Machine view.

No matter if you have or don't have a machine cut stock view visible, Vericut will detect the error if you hit a spinning jaw.

I put a small round circle modeled at the OD of the chuck that is a different color than the chuck.  When the chuck is stopped I see the circle and when the chuck is spinning I see a band of color going around the chuck OD.
