I probably have a rookie question but I recently started a new job and I am having an issue. I will explain to the best of my ability and hopefully someone can provide an answer.

To start, We are running SolidWorks 2014 top of the line. Also running Mastercam X7. I mostly have programming experience in HSMWorks. The only real time I spent on Mastercam was in college.

Anyways, I am trying to import files from the engineering department and they are drawn on a different plane. Basically the X is fine and the Z and the Y are flipped around. Even running a simulation it shows me that it is cutting threw the part. Such as a plate that needs holes and slots but it would be flipped up and sticking out six inches and the spindle would crash into it during a rapid.

I know that there has to be a way that a person can set the origin needed to machine the part without having to re-draw the entire part just so I can machine it. It would seem pretty stupid if that is not possible.

Any help?
