Validate my method is fine please (programmers differ in opinion)

Lord_Warfield
Good Morning Interweb,

So I have a simple alignment. Plane A, circle B, circle C. I Leveled to the plane A and origin Z to it. Translate XY to circle B. Rotate to a line made from B to C. Done.

A different programmer believes I must rotate before translating.... I totally disagree on this simple alignment. Using Legacy btw.

Without being degrading... please reply.

  • I personally always level/origin, rotate and origin my alignments, mainly for consistency if nothing else. I align each feature after measuring it and then recall at the end of the string as well. Not sure if that matters much as I've come across several programs not of my own design that have the alignments after the datums were measured. In the end I don't know if it really matters but I felt that it ensured everything was as accurate as possible for defining datums. Management just cares about good numbers on a report that they could show the customer...lol Rolling eyes
