issue with part floating in space

So when I'm making a new Program with PCDMIS 2020 some times when i receive an STP file the part is just floating into space. part is not even position on an XYZ origin and is not flat.
I am able to make my alignments using mastercam but wanted to know if i can do this in PCMIS.
any tips would be helpful.

  • In my opinion, the easiest way to work with a model is to transform the trihedron in the model's native software before you import it into PCD. If you do this, all you have to do is import into PCD and then you're good to go.

    If you don't have the ability to work with the model in it's native software, import it into PCD and then use the "Transform" function. "Operation/Graphic Display Window/Transform". If you're working with an assembly, you must transform through the cad assembly window.
