Hi
I'm quite newbie with Mastercam X3. But I have successfully created some 2/3D routes if the coordinates have been right from beginning.
Basically, I will use Autodesk Inventor (or other CAD-programs) to create models and then import them to Mastercam to create G-programs. All I wish that the models coordinate-axles will be right during import. Otherwise I'm in big trouble, because I have to adjust axles correctly by cnc-mill by mirroring/rotating and/or changing machining-planes (G17-G19).
So, my problem is, that I don't know how to rotate coordinates in Mastercam X3 to fit with Inventor model coordinates. Or should I rotate the model instead?
For example, if the model is upside-down, X-Y correct, but Z is to wrong direction.
If I use XFORM -> Rotate, the model will only rotate around X-axle. It would be easy, if the axle could be changed, but I can't change it..
It seems, that the Mastercam has three different "coordinates", but how Gview, WCS and T/Cplane works?
Please, can someone help me? Or was my question too messy.
