Newbie- Import Orientation Alignment Help

[Wally624]

We are currently using GibbsCAM 2009 in our Model Shop. Upon occasion, the machinists will import a file where the solid model is not correctly aligned to the X,Y,Z axis/planes. What is the proper procedure for aligning solid models (round or flat) to the desired plane/axis? Since I'm playing middleman and have never used the software, a step by step procedure would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all.

If you only aligning solid models, just select one face and right key for "align face to cs"

Hope is help!

Jeff's answer should work. Sometime I have to create a new CS also.
