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 always thought that aligning after a feature was more for a progressive style of alignments, Plane, align, Line, align, Point align. I could be wrong.

    that is how it works in the 'quick alignment' option, and many years ago, when people were getting nominals changing in the programs, it was traced back to this method BY TECH SUPPORT, and no matter how many times it was brought up with the code monkeys, they would not change the quick menu alignment method. TECH support proved that you can get nominals changing if you don't have ONE alignment that locks all 6 DOF. It may only happen once in 10 programs or once in 10,000, but ONCE is too many no matter out of however many times.

    You can continue to do that 'progressive' style of alignment, BUT, for safety, the last one MUST control all 6 DOF. Takes only a couple seconds to do, and that is a cheap insurance policy. I do not know if they ever 'fixed' that bug, but I've not heard that they have.
