Yikes...If your CMM can't move the model in space, then its totally up to you to place the models zero point to the UCS 0,0,0? That could be a pain. Now, you could create a new botton on your toolbar that would move..all..from(pick a piont)...to 0,0,0. Cadence has a wonderfully simple artical this month that tell you how to write a lisp file for it. That would work also and just make it a little simpler for you. I'd be happy to write it or just check out the article Danny Hughes

MDT is a must better cad package. We are talking about Parametrics. It doesn't just draw lines and arcs. No offense. Danny

!!!!!!Just draw another surfaces in the area where you are looking to extend. It works well. In fact, you can put your own surfaces anywhre to help extend or act as a containment boundary. I hope I'm not the only one who does this. You can force that tool to go or don't go just about anywhere.!!!!! Danny

Just use the SAT Translator. This will bring in lines, arcs, splines and surfaces. If you don't want the surfaces, just move them to another level and turn them off or delete them. Danny

I am a heavy MDT and Mastercam user. I import all of my files with the SAT Traslator and it newver brings the part in at 0,0,0. In fact, always have to move it. It is directly related to where the part is in MDT space. I work almost exclusively with surfaces and make all of the changes to my extrusion die in MDT. I don't use a CMM. Give me some more details and I might be able to help. Danny Hughes Cooper-Standard Automotive Griffin GA
