Can the plane Orientation be changed on an existing part?
Can the plane Orientation be changed on an existing part?
(OP)
Hi all,
I have an imported part with incorrect orientation. The right side of the part is on the front plane. Is there a way to change the orientations?
I think i can do it in the import manager but i was also wondering if i could do this to parts that I started on the wrong plane without thinking.

Remember that if you do this on a part with existing drawings views they will get reoriented as well.
Hope it helps

I was wondering if there was a quick way to have everything shift to a new orientation. In my example the sketches and entities on the front plan would go to the right plane and so on. i know I can change the sketch planes one by one, but that would be slow and require a bunch of small fixes through out the part.

2) Create a UCS at the point where you want the Origin to be, and orient the axes to suit
3) Save as a parasolid using the Options to save the new UCS as the Output Coordinate System
4) Open the parasolid and the UCS will have been adopted as the default global origin
