Time for a vacation , Matt. You've earned it.

Easy for you, difi'cult for me. Tried that over & over but it never did what I expected. I got it to work 15 years ago in an older version, but not this one. Maybe I need more RAM...installed in my head.

Thanks for your support fellas. Here's how I did it: New file, construct a X, Y, Z Trihedron each the same length, connect the endpoints Z to X, X to Y, Graphic View by Entity, Name & Save the view. You can do this 3 times, or use the Flip Axis icons. Delete the Trihedron, save the file as a template. But I think we all agree, if a dummy like me can do it, the pros at Mastercam should be able to add this feature with icons! Make Mastercam quicker, more functional, more marketable. Again, thanks for your responses!

Never mind. I got it!

In my line of work, Iso views are more useful than Front, Back, etc. I agree, I could rotate views to any position, name them and save file as a template. But I want my views to be Exact, with the Trihedron in the coner showing X, Y and Z at exactly 60 and 120° to each other. I have 2 views that way with ISO and Flip X for Y. My question is, how do I rotate my view around the Z axis so I maintain my upper viewpoint and the X/Y 60/120 relationship for the other 2 views?

Mastercam has 6 basic views, Top, Front, Right Side and their opposites plus a single ISO view. Unfortunately for me being in Automotive, most CAD I get means that single ISO view looks at the vehicle from the Left Rear. I'd rather look at the Left Front! How hard would it be to create 3 more ISO views, Left Front, Right Front and Right Rear? In older versions of Mastercam, I could rotate the graphic view -45° in X & 35.3° in Y ( it being a compound angle) & get what I want. I tried rotating in V9 but the logic eludes me. Update: I added a Flip X for Y icon in my Customized Settings & now have a Right Front! But how do I get the other two ISO's?

Whoops. I tried that in V 3.7 & it didn't work. Hope I didn't waste anybody's time but mine. If in V 4, try Operation>Graphics Display Window...Transform. Or better yet, just align the part using the original CAD, then rotate & offset your alignment.

Strange to see a Pcdmis question on the M/Cam forum! Don't know which version you are using, but in V3.7 it's Edit...Preferences... Setup...Part/Machine...Part Setup. Use Offsets to move, Adjust to rotate. BTW, I wouldn't cancel my M/Cam subscription just yet. Feeding CAD to Pcdmis is how I got into M/Cam, creating CAD from prints, verifying nominals, extending surfaces to verify fixtures, & a bunch of other things Pcdmis won't do. If nothing else, it's worth the price just to verify whether a CAD problem is the fault of Pcdmis, or the system that created it. (Yahoo, a question I could answer!)

Thank you, Gentlemen! Endpoint and the T key worked just fine. Plus, I never knew the letters turned the icons on & off. That will help me a WHOLE lot. Thanks again.

I'm still trying to migrate from V9 to X4. What is the X4 equilvalent to Create...Line...Tangent...2 Arcs?
