SOS on coordinate system changes

RobOntario
Hello all.

I have a mature program for part, with fixture program and part program. One of big guy wants to rotate the coordinate system: X as -Y, Y as -X and Z as Z, any easy way to do it?
Can I setup a new alignment when I do the reporting?

Thank you

    Well, you can make a NEW alignment program (fixture program) using the new co-ordinate system. IF it is just a straight-up 90 degree rotation ABOUT XY zero, you then just make a new program to check the part, recall the external alignment from the fixture program, then PASTE WITH PATTERN from the original part program into the new part program. You may or may not have to futz with the probe angles, but that should be all you need to do.
