Mastercam for Solidworks 2017 - Dynamic WCS

[Matt Berube at Ferron Mold]

Hi everyone,

One of my favorite features in the conventional releases of Mastercam is "Dynamic WCS"

Is there an equivalent in MCFSW?  

If not, what is your personal easiest/preferred way you have for setting the WCS origin of a workpiece in MCFSW with X-Y at center and Z at top of part?

I make a SW coordinate system that equals my desired  my desired WCS.

In the Mastercam Plane Manager you can select the coordinate system from the Geometry tab

You can also make a sketch of the desired X and Y axis and select that via the Geometry tab
