There was no consideration for how to the hold the part, and an order of operations that would allow a real workflow. The program could not make one 0.25' feature because it did not have anĮnd mill small enough. It made toolpaths that were unneeded, like cutting the outside periphery from the bottom after already cutting it from the top. It would make toolpaths around the part that cut all the way into the vise. This is because I let the program automatically recognize features, and then automatically generate operations to make those features. The first impression of Solidworks CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) made CNC tool-paths that were unusable or useless.

I would ideally like to create a coordinate system in pro/e that looks exactly like that of the CNC coordinate system so that it's easier to visualize what i'm doing, the only problem is that as far as I know Pro/E does not allow left hand coordinate systems. Is there any quick or easy conversion I could do other then using determinents to pull coordinate info from Pro/E directly into a g-code program i'm writing without having to do any hand calculations. I run into difficulty doing this since pro/E and the Fagor controller G-code coordinate system are not compatible and It requires me to do some hand subtraction to get the datum point info correct. I will need to duplicate complicated trim lines in Pro/E and then pull datum point info from Pro/E and use this to help create the G-code programs. The company that I work for has a Quintax CNC that operates in a Left-hand coordiate system. Most CAD systems that I know of operate in the Right-hand rule coordiate system. I'm new to the world of CNC programming and had a question regarding left hand rules and right hand rules.
