How to position inported drawings?

Post by coolant slinger »

I always draw a circle where I want my origin to be. This way if it doesn't import in on the origin I want. I can drill the hole at the origin I want and post the code then I know how far to move the drawing by the coordinates of the old origin to my origin. I then alter the coordinates down at the bottom of the screen this amount. I post again and my hole coordinates should read X0 Y0. this verifies the move. I wish I knew a better way.

This question is so basic I'm embarrassed.  When I
import a DXF drawing into TNG I am given the option to
position it in any corner or the center of the
material.  How do I offset it from a corner so it isn't
tangent to the edge of the material?  At one time I was
able to drag the part outline within the material but I
don't remember how.

Thanks.
