issue with part floating in space

Tkevin
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.

  • The easiest way to kill 2 birds with one stone....do an iterative alignment, using the coordinates of the cad file ( car body or aerospace location )....once that is done, then you can measure the feature that you want as your print zero ( if thats the issue here ), then origin that feature....this IMHO, is the best and most accurate way to do it...once you start transforming coordinates, you run the risk of errors in translation and essentially changing the data supplied to you by customer, that can open a whole can of worms....I have seen it, especially by Boeing....if you do it the way I say, your ass is covered....
