Set new Coord Sys as "Master" for STL output?

Set new Coord Sys as "Master" for STL output?

Is it possible, to set a user-defined Coordinate System as the XYZ master so when I open the exported STL file in my CAM program, it registers the part's XYZ axis' according to my defined Coord sys instead of the DEFAULT_CSYS at the top of the model tree? I don't know the exact angles to offset the part in my CAM software, and figured it would be much more fool-proof to create a new CSYS and use that to align my model.. as opposed to eyeballing it in my CAM software. ... having no luck thanks all ~Steve
