Abstract:
1. A method being executed by a processor of an electronic device for adjusting an orientation of a three-dimensional (3D) product model in a machine coordinate system, the method comprising: reading information of the 3D product model from a storage device, the information comprising original coordinates of vertices of a plurality of meshed triangles; creating a part coordinate system of the 3D product model based on dimensional information in a two-dimensional (2D) drawing of a product stored in the storage device; determining an identity matrix A determining a translation transformation matrix A determining a rotational transformation matrix R of the 3D product model based on the identity matrix A automatically adjusting the orientation of the 3D product model such that axes of the part coordinate system are aligned with the axes of the machine coordinate system based on the original coordinates of vertices of the meshed triangles of the 3D product model and the rotational transformation matrix R.
