How to orient Strategy scan path of CAD Model

[[LE...]]

Hello

Does anyone know how to orient CAD model's scan path in Strategy after copying it from another Identical CAD model.

Thanks

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.

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.

 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?

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)

Then you need to perform this in CAD - Modification - CAD Model Transformation. Rotate about the Y either 90 or -90

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.

You can just change Start angle on feature - that will rotate strategy also.

Hello Martin.

Noo I tried that and it does not work.

That won't work on Planes because Planes are not centered - there are in a corner of a square/rectangle.

Ok. Thanks for your feedback Richard. I truly appreciate it.

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.
