Importing CAD no Coordinate System over original program

 Dear PC DMIS Wealth of Knowledge 

I'm importing my new CAD model over my old program. it looks if (to me) there is no Coordinate System on the imported model because I have to spend time aligning the model to the program. 

and I rarely get close to a good alignment because the new imported model is way off the orginal program 

Used to be a way to do this quickly but its been to long and I  forgot.   

Thanks

Patrick.

    Also if you have CAD software then its usually much easier to move the origin to the proper location and export a fresh IGES.

    If you do not have CAD software then start a fresh program with your new model, then run through all the transformations that are needed. Once the origin is correct just hit save. Open your old program and import a new model, select CAD file type, navigate to where you saved the "new" program and steal its .CAD file with import/replace.
