3MF Import Error

[sol095 1]

Hello, I have started using 3MF files from Solidworks to use with Cura, rather than the STL file format. The issue is that when I drag and drop a 3MF file into Cura, it places the solidworks parts' coordinate system at the (0,0,0) location instead of at the center of the bed. I am not sure how to get the 3MF file to be loaded to the center of the bed just like the stl file does. I have attached pictures for reference. I should note that I already tried changing the 3MF export coordinate system in the SW export settings window but that did nothing.

That is unfortunately, not a bug.

3MF defines that the origin is always the bottom left corner of the machine.

Oof, thanks though. I started using ctrl-r to arrange all models. This centers the model in x and y then I set z height which is good enough for me.

Thank You, this help solved ONE of my problems, the rest is probably just me 🤪

Thanks for this, changing it to 0,0 wasn't that much effort, but Ctrl+R is much easier.

 

It would be good if there was an option to Ctrl+R (Arrange all models) by default when importing 3MF files and ignore its own origin.
