I am beginning to attempt to program off a cad model. I have a sample part, every time I press cad=part my alignment moves off my cad model. I am actually trying to program off of cad on a part I have a sample for before I make a program off a part that I have no sample for.
CAD Transform is a very good tool for CAD Assemblies. When a cad software is not available the CAD Assembly and CAD Transform is a good way to assemble the Part and Fixture components. Using the Translate and Create new coordinate system with the Cad Coordinate System Dialog window you can create a complete Part and Fixture setup. Also you can use the Quick Fixture Mode and the Part to Machine to place the complete Part and Fixture Assembly into a Virtual Machine.
