Creating solid models for setup assemblies (PartMaker)

When creating solid models for use in setup assemblies, follow these rules for setting up the setup assembly origin and coordinate axes:

Standard Table

With a standard table, set:

• the origin at bottom left corner of the top of the table; and
• the Z axis perpendicular to the table, directed outwards from the top face of the table.

For example:

Tombstone

With a Tombstone, set:

• the origin on top of the table on the tombstone's axis of rotation; and
• the Y axis parallel to the tombstone's axis of rotation of the tombstone, directed outwards from the top face of the table.

For example:

4-Axis Table

With a 4-Axis Table, set:

• the origin on top of the table, on the table's axis of rotation; and
• X axis parallel to the table's axis of rotation, directed outwards from the top face of the table.

For example:

5-Axis Table

With a 5-Axis Table, set:

• the origin on top of the table, on the table's axis of rotation; and
• the Z axis parallel to the table's axis of rotation, directed outwards from the top face of the table.

For example:
