    Solidworks 2004 file into Mastercam X

    I'm just learning how to import a Solidworks 2004 file in Mastercam X. If I extrude a simple square cube in Solidworks and import into Mastercam X, I find that the WCS origin is the same but the "front" face in Solidworks becomes the "top" face in Mastercam X. How do you adjust for this difference.

    XForm - Translate 3D

    Move Top Plane to Front.

    If you have X4 play with the Xform Dynamic. Very cool tool.
