Alignment to offset holes?

Stephen McMillan
Hi all. First post. Sorry if it's a rookie question.

I want to do a Plan-Circle-Circle alignment.
The first hole is the x0 y0 origin.
The second hole has some given coordinates, say x8.0, y4.0.

I don't want to have to calculate the angle and use the "Offset angle" in the "Rotate to" field.
I also don't want to use an iterative alignment.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve

  • Unless you are perfectly aligned to the CMM offsetting X8 and Y4 will not do the trick alone.
    You will need to do this process over and over again dimensioning the features after each try to see if you have achieved the offset you needed.

    Example of an extreme case would be if you had your part setting at a 45° angle.
    Moving X8 and Y4 doesn't give you the offset you are looking for.
    Each part could theoretically be different and each need a different number of iterations to get the x8, y4 offset
