Create a Coordinate System

Hi guys -

 

In every other CAD package I've had the ability to create separate coordinate systems. The option is usually under the Construct menu. Solidworks, NX, Pro/E, etc. Is this not possible in Fusion 360? I'm CNCing a slightly strange part and I am having trouble defining the WCS within the CAM Setup, so I thought I'd just pop over to Model, make the actual WCS I needed, then select it when defining my setup.

 

Is this not possible?

 

Thanks.

One thing you can do is create an empty component and use it's origin as a coordinate system. Make sure your model in in a component and ground the component so it doesn't move then use Align and Move point to point to position the empty component.

 

Turn on the component origin select the face you want to align to, make sure the Object type is set to component.

Then select a plane from the empty component.

Then use move point to point to position.

Your other option is to make construction planes, axis and points.
