I hired a new guy and he insists upon doing one DCC alignment and never doing another alignment, he lets the feature control frame control the alignment for him. I don't think that is a good practice, does anyone have an opinion on this?
I change alignments like I change my undies (weekly, lol, j/k).
When I program, I like to make the routine as robust as possible, and since I work with injection molded plastic, we could have stuff inadvertently bent or a sink or short that's over .100" from nominal which would normally cause a stall... I program interim translations rotations and levels any time I project from part xyz zero more than about an inch to make sure routine will robustly run.
At end of routine, I create a final alignment per print, and output all dim's. Putting the dims at the end also keeps routines compartmentalized and visually capable for the minions to understand where to look for the "red" (out of tolerance).
