Xform STL 2017

[henrikhh]

Hey

Anyone knows where to find the "Xform STL" button in the new 2017 interface?

I've been using that function a lot in MCX8, but now I can't seem to find it anywhere in 2017.

Thanks

Merge the stl into your file as a mesh and use the traditional transform functions 

to move it

You can then use the mesh as stock inside your file, or export it if needed

Yup, as pointed out all of the xform functions will work now....

Thanks for the help guys

I'm still having trouble selecting the mesh as stock in the stocksetup after merging it into my mastercam program file.

For now I'm just saving the stock as an STL file form the verify window, opening the saved stock, rotating and transforming it to save it again as an STL. Then I can reopen my programfile, and select the STL file as stock in the stocksetup, in my machinegroup menu.

I don't know if what I'm doing is the right way to do it, but it works okay.

If it's an stl you're better of keeping it as a file and using the file as stock....

If you can create a stock model, those can easily be used internally within the file for stock
