Re: SOLIDWORKS BUG! (Exporting files with curves)

So, the curves seem to come in correct, no? And, as Alex suggest (but you said no) rotate the bodies? Or maybe apply another 180deg coordsys and use that as the export? Yeah, I don't have/use the CNC module. No, the curves do not come in correct. Actually, the more accurate statement is that the cu...

Re: SOLIDWORKS BUG! (Exporting files with curves)

Oh, I understand. Thanks for the explanation! We don't have a CNC where I work which is why I've never ran into this :P Edit: Why not "move body" to have the file's origin at the desired place..? This way you wouldn't have to jerk around with a new origin to define in your exporting proce...

Re: SOLIDWORKS BUG! (Exporting files with curves)

Out of curiosity, why would you use a different coordinate system then the default to export...? Several reasons. Modifying imported data, and the origin of the imported data is not the origin desired/required by the CNC dept. Need to output files in different orientations for the CNC dept. Basical...

SOLIDWORKS BUG! (Exporting files with curves)

Just tossing this out there to help inform others of the bug. When exporting a file containing curves (that were created in Solidworks using the Project Curves tool/command) as a step or iges file, using an output coordinate system other than the default, Solidworks will use the selected csys for ou...
