STL Verify

[pip]

Excuse my spelling.

I am using V8.11 German.

After verifying our tool path we have saved the file as an STL file. What we would now like to do is rotate that STL file to be used for machining the second side. At the moment I use a program called Workveiw to convert to DXF then rotate in Autocad, save again as 3dStudio. Reload in Workveiw and convert back to STL file. As you can see this is very long winded. HELP.

Any help or pointers please.

I am pretty sure you can still down load the stlxform chook that will be alot faster to use

it allows you to rotate and transform just as well as any mc8 file

Thanks for the lightning quick reply. Where can I find this Chook, I have looked on the Chook list for V8 but there is nothing listed under that name. Thanks

Thanks all, I have downloaded the Chook and hopefully will be using it this afternoon when I get to work.
