Output Coordinate System

Sebastian Landa Apr 25, 2018 10:33 AM

Hallo everyone,

i have a problem with Version 2018.

have to bring my data as a stl with a pre defined coordinate system into another program. SW 2017 was perfect for it i used it a lot. now i got the Version 2018 sp2 and it is not working anymore . i think it is a system bug i tryed a lot of time with different conditions but nothing works for me.

If i do something wrong please tell me

sorry i got bad english

Greetings

Make a new triad XYZ to export your STL
Solidworks XYZ Coordinate System - YouTube
I Have one solution on new templates but it will be usefull for new parts

Triad XYZ SW2018.rar 83.0 KB

I don't make it as you say anymore....always it has some issues, rotate your triad and you don't have troubles no more...

My SW17 sp5 will not export a new coordinate system into an STL, part file nor assembly file.

Hi Sebastian
I had a similar problem in 2016
Export Step File with New Coordinate System
The solution was to export, reimport and export again.
(The coordinate system worked in SW but not the target application, so reimporting aligned the part to default)

    It's a little bit complicated....send to VAR one ticket with your trouble.
