[LE...] Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Hello Does anyone know how to orient CAD model's scan path in Strategy after copying it from another Identical CAD model.

[Ri...] Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Make a new Alignment inside of Resources - Utilities - Alignment. Set the X,Z origins to the center of that plane (looks like there in an ID in the center of it you can use). Copy/Paste that alignment - Go into Special - Rotate - Space Axis should be Y - enter the value you need it to rotate by. Go to the Plane - change the Alignment from Base Alignment to Alignment1 - then click on Keep Position and set it to Alignment2. 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/27216-how-to-orient-strategy-scan-path-of-cad-model/#findComment-154200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LE...] Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Hello Richard Thank you for your reply. In your last sentence : "Go to the Plane" which plane are you referring to. Also do I need to open each feature and do the KEEP POSITION or is there a way to rotate the whole program 90 degrees.

[Ri...] Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Please sign in to view this username. The Plane I am referring to is the one that you have shown "Back Plane-Large arc only". Do you need to rotate the model or the actual features?

[LE...] Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Hi.I need to rotate the model because now I am mounting the part in New orientation ( 90 degrees CCW when view from -Y side) Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/27216-how-to-orient-strategy-scan-path-of-cad-model/#findComment-154208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Then you need to perform this in CAD - Modification - CAD Model Transformation. Rotate about the Y either 90 or -90 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/27216-how-to-orient-strategy-scan-path-of-cad-model/#findComment-154210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LE...] Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 I did that when I opened the new CAD model but then all the Features and therr strategies remain in previous orientation. Looks like I'll have to open each feature and do "KEEP POSITION" and then select New Alignment (Which is 90Degreees CCW) and then once the strategies rotate then select original Base Alignment from the drop down Menue.

[Ma...] Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 You can just change Start angle on feature - that will rotate strategy also. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/27216-how-to-orient-strategy-scan-path-of-cad-model/#findComment-154214 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ri...] Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 That won't work on Planes because Planes are not centered - there are in a corner of a square/rectangle.

Strange - i've just tried that right now, where i have a polygon path extracted from CAD face and modifying that angle rotates that path also.
