Stock Manager problem

[Joesph Jackman]

Trying to do the Assembly 2 Tutorial from the Camworks Mill and Turn tutorial that comes with Camworks. I am using the sample file that is included with Camworks called MILLASM_2.SLDASM. When I use the Stock Manager to increase the value of Z to .1 the stock grows in the X direction and not in the Z direction. What setting allows you to set the correct X,Y and Z directions to control stock size?

Hi Joesph,
The stock manager is using the SolidWorks XYZ in the stock definition. So it depends on how your model is placed in regards to that. I normally glance at the 3D gnom in the lower left of the screen to see which axis to apply extra material to.

Thanks Lars. Never would have figured that out without your help.
