    Solidcam 2013 can't define coordinate system SolidCAM

    Hi,my problem is.Solidcam 2013 can't define coordinate system.
    I am trying to test the SolidCAM, so I opened a part file while watching different tutorials on youtube on how to start. I seem to have a problem at the very begging. They are defining the coordinate system in different way which i tried all and it's still not working. First I tried to use a coordinate sys that I created before that. I tried to open just the part file and define a sys by picking up a face center but when I select the face from the graphics area the accept button is not active and no coordinate sys is visualized in the graphics area.Select off rewolution face not work.

    Hi core units,

    I only have 2017 and 2018 on my system. My suggestion is that if you would like to test SolidCAM. Simply call support and they will get you hooked up with a 30 day full posting system so you can really give it a try.

    Regards,
    Darrin - SolidCAM

    Just pick from left side the radio button "origin" and then click where you want to be at your part, it should automate switch to X and to Y picks.
