Changing views

[wojtek90]

I created solid model by mistake in the top view, but it supposed to be the front view. I would like to machining it from the top to surface 25 degree face, then machining concave and then drilling holes.So how can I change the view that top view will be front view and and top will be from the top of the ball.

Change your wcs to whatever view you want.

Sorry was in the middle of something, should have been more in depth. I've done this before and the way I got away with it was I went to my wcs manager, made a copy of the top was, renamed it, and set the xyz to where I wanted it to be, back left corner of the "top" of the part. Make sure the z is pointed up, x is pointed towards the right and y is pointed away. Make sure you set everything equal to your new wcs. I'm on my phone or I'd upload your file and show you. Hope this helps.

Also make sure you number it as well to provide a g54 or g55. 0=g54 1=g55

As always right to the point. Thank you very much Jay.

Hey Jay just watched your video, great presentation! The stuff I teach does not include imported models so I never get a chance to play with dynamic, but it has a great use with multi part models.

Radical1 Thanks and I agree on the use thought. I throw in the impot a model these days as allot of shops are now getting files from there customers and before you know it there are teach calls on how to bring in a model and set it up to machine.
