I am working with a part that I used the orient wcs to be able to machine some electrodes........When I try to bring it into drafting, the views come in with absolute positioning. What do I need to do to bring them in on the wcs I have created.

Tim,

command. Almost left something out, when I first attempted...
Thanks Tim....I got unigraphics kind of thrown at me without training. I had to mess with the way I picked the sections but got it modeled up this morning.

I need to model up a curved tunnel gate for an injection mold. I am simply revolving a circle about 180 degrees to create sort of half a donut. The problem I have is how to get it to have a 3 degree taper from one end to the other.
Any help would be great.
