how to reposition the UCS?

[creocatia3d]

Is there another way other than cube view?

@creocatia3d here is a previous post with many responses that might give you more information that you need, but probably point to what you're looking for. Hope this helps!

It appears you are referring to a CNC package/workflow..  What CNC package are you using for Inventor?  If its Inventor HSM, this product has its own forum.

Hi! I am sorry that I don't understand the question. ViewCube helps you see the geometry in different pre-defined view angles. UCS is a concept of coordinate system. If you wan to create your own coordinate system, you can use UCS command in part or assembly.

Many thanks!

There's another posting about this. I think OP is looking to change UCS in a cnc operation. I'm in mobile mode so unable to link to the other Inventor Forum posting.

but what?
typing UCS in mode .ipt and nothing

[johnsonshiue]

Hi! I think you misunderstood UCS command. Here is some documentation about UCS.

Please feel free to go to Autodesk Knowledge Network to find relevant information. There are a lot of valuable instructional documents and videos.

Many thanks!

@creocatia3d could you provide a screenshot or .ipt you are working on for better clarification?

We can definitely help you get your view/ucs orientation solved but need a bit more info to identify where the confusion is. Thanks!

[creocatia3d]

Yes.
super useful this tip!!!!
thank you

but I noticed that the viewcube does not follow a new position.

UCS and View Cube are completely unrelated concepts.  You seem to be thinking of UCS in Inventor as functioning similar to the way it does in AutoCAD.  They are actually very different things in the two programs, which unfortunately share the same name.

In the past in other systems, I have seen objects like the Inventor "UCS" referred to as a Local Coordinate System (LCS) instead.  I think that would have been a better name in Inventor as well, because it wouldn't carry over misunderstandings for people coming from AutoCAD.

Did they already mention what CAM program they are using?

If HSM there is no need to "reposition" the UCS/viewcube in the normal "Inventor ways"

In the initial setup of the HSM job you simply pick where you want the XYZ origin to be and can easily/quickly change that right there..

@creocatia3d What cam program are you using?

[creocatia3d]

OK Alright
I thought that while changing the UCS the viewcube would accompany.
Thank you

[creocatia3d]

I only thought about changing due to the presentation of the tool working
on the screen.
It is opposite to the modeling mode that I make.
(TOP, FRONT, LEFT) and not (TOP, FRONT, RiGHT)

thank you

There is still a bit of a terminology problem going on here, I think, and probably still a misunderstanding of what a UCS in Inventor actually is.  From what I can see, you're not "changing the UCS" at all.  In your Screencast, you created 3 separate UCS's on different corners of your model, and at no point did you ever change any of them.

The UCS in Inventor is a model feature, just like a work plane, axis, extrusion, etc.  It is not an abstract working view orientation concept like in AutoCAD - it is a persistent object in the history of your model.  Essentially, it is a collection of three work planes, three work axes, and a work point, and you can create as many of them as you want.
