rickhebert Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hello, I work for a machine shop where I am given x and z coords from cnc programs. I have been assigned to create setup sheets that show the tool, the center point, and the part and I create points to show the tool path in 2D The WCS displays as follows Y |_X But I would like to see the following, X |_Z So if I typed POINT .363, 0.00, .553 X would be up & down and Z would be right & left. I have tried various means to achieve this no success but I don't really understand the WCS/UCS system. I am working in 2D and I would like to plot the points exatcly as given to me from the code instead of having to convert them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hughes Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I've got a little lisp routine you can download from my website called AutoUCS. Once it's loaded you can very easily manipulate the UCS by your keyboard arrow keys. I've got a YouTube video demonstrating it. After you perform the work you need to make sure you reset things to the WCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
