Change a Design’s Origin

  • If not specified, the origin (the icon on the model) will be used as the machining reference and the general tolerances will be guaranteed.
  • On the meviy platform, the origin is the point of intersection between the TOP-FRONT-LEFT. You can change the origin to the vertex of the outer dimensions and the center of a precision hole.
  1. Click . Areas to which the origin point can be moved will be highlighted in light blue.
  2. Select the location to which you want to move the origin point.
  • The place to where you move the origin point will be used as the machining reference and the general tolerances will be guaranteed.
  • If you move the origin point to a precision hole, the initial origin point will be used as the machining reference, except where it is on a face that is adjacent to the new origin position.
