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.
Nope, not true, not even CLOSE to true. You do NOT ever "need" to translate a model, not for any reason at all.
AND OTHER RELATED GOOD INFO.
Maybe NEED isnt the correct terminology. However, for someone asking this question, who is not familiar w C=P or might be prone to getting twisted around the part axis,
would you recommend TRANSLATING the part in order to help someone visualize how the part is oriented on the table?
I like to TRANSLATE the CAD model in the beginning just so that in case of an emergency if someone else needs to run the part they have a rough idea of how the part goes on the table.
you're right you don't NEED to translate the part for C=P, but it sure helps eliminate some confusion. IMHO.
