Plane rotation


Dtm

Recommended Posts

Good morning. I have this part I just finished programming and the boss decided to change how he wants to fixture the part. Op#5 on the rotary he wants to rotate the part 180 deg. Basically I want the left side of the part on the right side. However, I have 8 different planes created is there an easy way to do this? I can't just rotate the geometry 180 an regen because all of the plane will be backwards. I uploaded the file to the ftp site called planes.

Rotate WCS to create a new WCS and use that for your operation. I have not looked at the file, so maybe there's more involved here?

 

Thanks. I just created a new view for hole three, then had to reverse holes 1 and 2, and 4 and five in the toolpath planes. It wasn't as bad as I thought. My boss wants to run this today and I kinda panicked since there is 40 something toolpaths. I got it. :thumbsup:
