Orientation of the coordinate system of an assembly

Lior Kamitchi Rimon Jan 11, 2018 8:27 AM

Hello,

Im working on a big assembly that the engineer before me started. It is very complex and has about 80 parts.

unfortunately he wasnt very neat in his work, and the main coordinate system of the assembly is upside down (y axis pointing to the bottom of the assembly, z pointing to the back of it)

And that make is really uncomfortable to rotate the assembly with the mouse since its not the "correct" directions in my mind.

How can I change the orientation of the coordinate system?

Orient the Assembly the way you want it for one of the standard views, then hit your spacebar to bring up the Orientation dialog box. Click on the "Update Standard Views" icon, and then choose the desired option. I'd suggest saving a backup first in case it doesn't work properly, because I don't believe you'll be able to use the Back button to reverse this if it doesn't work correctly.
