The creation process for tools, symbols, machine, etc. has become more fluid with the interactive system of axes.

The arrow - inverts the selected axis orientation
The letter - allows the repositioning of the selected axis to a different direction
The origin - allows to relocate the system of axes to another origin.

Select the “Clamping / Toolholders” module in the Homepage.
Click the GO button
Select the file to import
Choose the import option you want to apply on the solid. Click “Apply”
Click on the tab “Creation” then “Chuck and Jaws” menu
Click the command to create system of axis
Select the tool to define the position of system of axis
Define the system of axis 0. This system of axis will be the mounted point of the chuck on the work assembly support of the machine. The Z axis define the rotation axis.
Do the same command to create the system of axis 1. The origin position will define the face where the jaws will be mounted. The Z axis must the same than the system of axis 0. The X axis will be align with the X of the turn plane. It will define also the positionning of the first jaw.
Save the file in your symbol folder to use it in GO2cam.

System of axis 0 is the mounted point on the work assembly support.
System of axis 1 define where is mounted the first jaw.
The Z axis of the two systems of axis are oriented in the revolution axis of machine.
