    Wrong Plane

    If I draw a part on the top plane in solidworks and then import into a cam package, the cam software interprets the side plane as the top plane.

    Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening ?

    Cheers.

    Do you know how I can set this as the default coordinate system?
