How do I transform an STL file saved from verify?

[danielm]

Its been a while.  Seems like there used to be a c-hook or something.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

[gcode]

open the stl file as a mesh

then use the standard translation tools to move it

then save it back out as a mesh

I miss STL_XFORM.dll

 

oh well....

I could have sworn I've turned them into solids before.

 

I think I saved it as it's own file and then did a save as and selected the file type of iges or step Maybe

seems a PITA to me....

Here's what I do.....

I will save the stl out of verify and import it into the file.....it should land in the position in which it was created

I will then copy a solid to a seperate level......I will select the solid and stl to gether so that I have an exact transform point....I then use dynamic transform to move it to the position I want it...

It's WAY easier than the BS guesswork that used to be xform stl

That is exactly what I do.  When I do not have the original solid I will use bounding box or silhouette boundary to get the best approximation possible.
