Hi,

I dont think you can change the orientation of the global frame.

Instead, you can create a local system right at the global frame coordinates but with a different orientation and use that for further modelling.

I`m a new HW user so i dont know how to do that yet...

Do you have any guide you can share?

Thanks.

You can also change the direction of the gravity for your problem (if it just CAD orientation). Give it a try.

Instead of change of global system, you can change orientation of your part! By this way, you got them same effect.
