How to locate two bodies in a Mill

I have a Haas Vf2ss with a TRT210 5 -axis.

The machine is setup with the machine & a vise on the table plus a vise on the 5-axis.

I can locate the machine to the first body in the 5-axis vise location. The simulation is beautiful.

I need to flip the part (copy body) & locate it in the table mounted vise.

So there will be milling in the 5-axis part then the part at the table vise.

How can I locate the second body to the table vise correctly, since this vise can't be seen in design mode?

Hi

 

You never want to have your Vise in the Machine model, it should be in the part document.

you can have your zero point plate in the machine model but the vises shouldn't be there.

 

When the vises are in the Part document you will need to have one copy for OP1 and another Jointed to OP2
