Moving coordinate system in assembly drw

James Willie

Dear All,

I have a pro/engineer drawing created by using the assembly option. I created the drawing from five separate drawings and so i have five coordinate systems being displayed. The intention is to export an iges file of this drawing to a grid generator for mesh creation. I need to have only one coordinate system specified at a given location. Is there any way of achieving this?

I suspect the coordinate system of the first part is what is being used as the assembly coordinate system? If this is true, how can I move this to the desired location?

Counting on your assistance.

Jimmy
 
You can create a new coordinate system at your desired location and use that as base for the IGES export.
In the export interface you have an option to choose which csys to use.
