I am beginning to attempt to program off a cad model. I have a sample part, every time I press cad=part my alignment moves off my cad model. I am actually trying to program off of cad on a part I have a sample for before I make a program off a part that I have no sample for.
So i used to use C=P all the time. You don't need it.
Import your model. Translate your model to match your machine coordinates or your drawing callout. (I like to put the coordinates somewhere I can easily eyeball and put my READPOINT at {0,0,0} Create your READPOINT. Create your alignment. Done.
No need for C=P
I tried to make a program just off the cad model without c=p. Luckily I found the sample part, I tried running the program and after the manual alignment the probe moved about an inch off the part and tried to take the first hit. How do you use read point, maybe this is my issue?
