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.

    IMO the only time the progressive alignment is actually useful is when your plane (for the alignment) is NOT a machine plane (as in, not square to a machine axis). I work with fixtures 99.999% of the time. They are flat to the machine. A plane on the fixture will show a MACHINE ALIGNMENT vector of 0.99999997 or some such. THAT is plenty close enough for you to measure a line or a circle and still get a manual alignment that is WAY MORE accurate than needed for the DCC alignment. It really is needed for portable arms, but not so much on a cmm machine.
