global coordinate sys

December 14, 2000, 11:11

I need to know if it's possible to change the orientation and position of the global coordinate system when importing cad/surface entities in PROSTAR.

If not, how can I use ProICE if my coordinate sys is not oriented with the z-axis parallel to the cylinder axis??? Is it possible to change the global coord sys in ProICE???

Please help me

I have not used ProICE, but if the problem is that you have an imported model that is ill-placed and -directed, perhaps you could try to move and rotate it with the vgen command?
