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 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.
  • I was taught (burnt n learnt with noms changing) that you have to level, rotate, origin then offset as needed. If you use a best fist for anything you need to lock the 6 DOF, then in another alignment following the lock down alignment use the best fit as needed. Another thing is when I create the 1st full 6 DOF alignment is to recall the STARTUP alignment to clear out anything that you or the software has inadvertently fubared
