Iterative alignment transformation matrix

Is there an easy way to report out the transformation matrix that is applied by an iterative alignment? I want to recall an alignment from a previous fixture alignment and then run an iterative alignment on the part on that fixture and report out the exact rotations and translations used to transform from one alignment to the next.

Thanks for any help.

  • Thanks to both of you for the help! I am able to get my head around Josh's solution a bit easier so I will probably start with that.

    JEFMAN, can you elaborate a bit on exactly how you would apply your solution? I'm not sure exactly what "Format" and "End_Ref" are accessing so I'm not 100% clear on where these lines need to be placed in relationship to the two alignment commands. For the matrix you are placing 3 different values into a single variable. How does this workout? I would think that the 2nd line would just over write that value from 1st line. I am sure this is just my lack of understanding so any help that you can give to pull me along a bit further would be very much appreciated. Even if I end up using Josh's solution I would still like to understand how this works.

    Thanks again.
