Hi

I have Soldworks and have tried to save iges file in various views.
Top, Front,etc. Everytime it seems the part comes into Mastercam
in the wrong orientation. How do you rotate a newly imported part.
To me it looks like the default view Mastercam wants is a top view.

Raveboy,
There are two ways set wcs to the view you want your top to be or . here is a video on wcs and the the second is translate 3-d by views. I have both on the video.
