Select coordinate system - Sets a specific tool orientation for this operation from an Inventor User Coordinate System (UCS) in the model.

Both the X and Y axes can be flipped 180 degrees.

Select X & Y axes - Select a face or an edge to define the X axis and another face or edge to define the Y axis.

Both the Z and Y axes can be flipped 180 degrees.

Select Z axis/plane & Y axis - Select a face or an edge to define the Z axis and another face or edge to define the Y axis.

Both the Z and X axes can be flipped 180 degrees.

Select Z axis/plane & X axis - Select a face or an edge to define the Z axis and another face or edge to define the X axis.Model orientation - Uses the coordinate system (WCS) of the current part for the tool orientation.Setup WCS orientation - Uses the workpiece coordinate system (WCS) of the current setup for the tool orientation.Orientation drop-down menu provides the following options to set the orientation of the X, Y, and Z triad axes: In addition to standard machining strategies for 2.5D, 3D and 3+2, 5-axis milling and 2-axis turning applications, HSM offers advanced toolpath strategies for high-efficiency machining, integrated simulation and verification tools, and post-processor system to help achieve higher productivity, increased profits and shorter time-to-market.Specifies how the tool orientation is determined using a combination of triad orientation and origin options. This enables shops to get up to speed and become productive within minutes, by using familiar tools and workflows. Autodesk HSMWorks (SolidWorks) and Autodesk Inventor HSM (Inventor) provide truly integrated design-to-manufacturing solutions for manufacturers and Job Shops using SOLIDWORKS or Inventor.
