Im doing a Step process. Normally I can make it work but im working with a rotated part (in the wpc). I have found that the normal SQR callout for your material won't work if the program points aren't already rotated.
I got points from the computer and imput the profile into mazatrol with a 45* rotation (since that's how these will be machined) It defaults to standard 0* orientation for the material description, so when I put some info there, it tries to rotate that 45* as well (and 45* too far in comparison to my part, which displays perfectly in the graphics)
I was wondering about the ARB callout (arbitrary?) Can I use that to describe my raw stock at a 45, then input my points and have the WPC rotate the entire thing 45* back so my rectangular stock is oriented normally?
The reason Im posting is that I can't seem to get the ARB to work. When I use SQR I put in the coordinates of the opposite corners and then next line starts the shape definition section. With ARB it doesn't transfer to the shape definition area, just continues adding raw shape description lines.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
