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.
why does it HAVE to stay in the native cad system?
who cares if you translate it to match the machine axis if the end result is the same?
If your doing sheet metal especially for Ford, they have what they call level 3 & 4 points that they give you xyz&ijk coordinates, you need to measure those for capability studies. I seen other customers give point charts also and those have to be reported for studies, usually the CAD is in autobody coordinates.
