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

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 guess you could say the same about the relationship of the startup alignment to the part vs the other method. but i cant convince myself that its a safe bet. not saying your wrong at all.... just my own programming "do not do" list

Just align everything to PNT31 and the rest will come out just fine.

You got to love PNT31

You always LEVEL,ROTATE,ORIGIN or you can have or will have issues depending on the geometry of the part. You can skew the alignment doing it any other way.
