I just started at a shop that uses Gibbs. I’m coming from a MasterCAM background so it is a bit strange trying to translate as I read the Gibbs books. I was hoping some one could answer what should be an obvious question: How do you use the CS in Gibbs? I assume this is like the WCS in mastercam, where you can orient your coordinate system, and origin anyway you want it? I will mostly be machining solid models imported from Pro Engineer. I have no trouble getting the models into Gibbs (in fact it seems to be better at it than MC) but I haven’t figured out how to orient my X Y Z axis yet. The boss is only letting me take home one Gibbs book at a time, and right now I have Geometry creation, so I’m a bit stumped.

Thanks-
