    Cylinders off-center when importing Inventor files to Edgecam

    Trying to program a rotary feature but Edgecam needs the CPL to wrap EXACTLY around the Z-Axis --- problem is that my Inventor models when imported into Edgecam arrive a little off dead center (see photo) -- so when I try to define a Rotary Feature, I get a "Rotary Feature must wrap around Z axis of current CPL".... Any advice/tips on making the import more precise so that I do not constantly need to re-align the CPL from Inventor to Edgecam?

    Hello. I use both programs.
    Can`t you make a new cpl in the middle and choose it?
    Have you tried workflow?
