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.
I have never translated a model, every model I've worked with (and we are 99.999995% CAD here) I've used AS IS.
Using the 3-D rotate view, you rotate the model until it matches how it sits on the table. Then SAVE THE VIEW. Then F5 and set the machine axis to match the cad axis. All done.
.
Still a bit hazy on this one. when you do this will you see a visible shift in orientation of the axis on the cad?
