Translating .stl file to new view to part geometry mastercam x 1

[prest]

Anyone:

Does anyone know how to make a previous saved stl file conforms to a new part geometry construction view (e.g. when you translate the part geometry to a new point hence creating a new one) in Mastercam X so when you run the machining simulator, the stock file is matches the new part geometry view? Input on this matter would be much appreciated.

You need to orient the X0,Y0 and Z0 of both parts to the same coordinates. This way, they will align properly.

Larry:

Thank you for you input on this matter, however, I still do not know the exact steps to rectify this matter on Mastercam X. I do understand the concept of aligning the stl model file to the new part view geometry, but I am at a disadvantage of knowing the step-by-step process on Mastercam X. If you, or anyone else, can explain this step-by-step process on Mastercam X, your input would be much appreciated.
