Importing "Other" file types into Inv 2012

[Anonymous]

I bring in STEP and ASIS files to Inv.

I do not like the way some of the parts sit in ref to the UCS

How can I relocate the model in its part file to sit in the orientation that I want in ref to the UCS

That works great for getting them to 0,0,0

How about if I need to say rotate the object 90 deg around X?

Hi kbdmann,

The Move Bodies tool has an option for rotating around a line / axis.

I hope this helps.
