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.

  • Ran a test... with the Plane, circle, circle I saw no difference. With a Plane. Mid Plane, Mid Plane... Error occurred that was corrected by rotating 1st... I assume its a cosine error of some sort but, it happened and I will change the method for this and future program to form a habit. It actually created .008 inches of error. Astonished

    This was a case of and old dog showing and old dog new tricks.
