So we are a die shop and we take customer parts and because solidworks is Y up instead of Z up like every other industry. I have to Take customer parts and start an assembly and move the part around until it looks tipped right. then I can start the die design how ever I have to go through about an hours wroth of work before I can die lock. How can I get around this? Cause I spend an hour just to find out I have to start all over.
Are you using the Draft Adjustment Triad in the Draft Analysis Tool? Is a great way to determine the pull direction, without any need for repositioning the part, or creating extra planes and axes. No need to insert the part in an assembly for that.
