re-orient a part's coordinate system
re-orient a part's coordinate system
(OP)
Anyone found a better way to re-orient a part's coordinate system since October? I read thread559-136322 but the solutions are workarounds. I was wondering if there have been any relevant updates to Solidworks since then. Btw, the only reason I want to do this is to make importing parts into Surfcam SE 2-axis easier. If anyone has advice about making the Solidworks to Surfcam SE 2-axis translation easier I would really appreciate it.

RE: re-orient a part's coordinate system
If you are export out of Solidworks to a neutral file format, you can create a coordinate system (reference geoemetry), then when "Save As" to a neutral format, select "Options" and change the coordinate system to the one you created.
