One point Alignment using CAD

Just recently I have been running larger samples of parts. The time has come for me to automate my program even more. One way of doing this is a "one-point" alignment on the part. I have tried this before but have fallen foul, I think it was because I wanted to keep the CAD datum where it was. Does anybody have any info on this or can suggest some options for me achieving this?

Many thanks in advance.

  • Thanks Matthew, I think I follow.
    Sort of how I used to do it in the old days! My problem will be that I have very little square or flat features. I'm measuring twin NGV's, I will have to calculate how to get back to point, Y, (intersection of datums), from my first point and secondary alignments.
