I hear your pain. I have been trying to position my stl file for rest roughing on a particular piece for awhile now. No matter what I do it always comes in in some strange orientation. I have to rotate it and translate it to get it into position.
The worst part of it is if I create the toolpath and then decide to change a parameter, it completely discards the file and I have to start all over again.
It has to be the most frustrating part of my day screwing around with this crap.
