hEINSTEIN Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I made a Part and saved it in a Catalog. When I drop the part in the scene it gets rotated. Please share some tips with me for creating catalog parts please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas@Solidmakarna Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Everything is positioned relative the XYZ space in IRONCAD. This is controlled on each item by the Anchor Point. When dropped from a catalog it has a set direction parallel to the XYZ coordinate system. Long leg (blue) = Z and short leg (red) = X. You can download the Anchor Point guide (PDF) from here: https://www.ironcad.academy/downloads Edited April 16, 2021 by Jonas@Solidmakarna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas@Solidmakarna Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 You should also take some minutes and watch the basic training material regarding catalogs and anchor points: https://www.ironcad.academy/tutorial/training-56-catalogs-part-1 https://www.ironcad.academy/tutorial/training-58-anchors-part-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
