Level: choose the feature that controls 2 degrees of rotational freedom, choose axis and direction you want it's vector to point, click Level button.
Rotate: choose the feature that controls the 3rd degree of rotational freedom, choose the axis and direction you want it's vector to point (cannot be same as Level step!), click Rotate button.
Origins: choose the feature that controls movement in the X direction, check X axis box, click Origin button.
choose the feature that controls movement in the Y direction, check Y axis box, click Origin button.
choose the feature that controls movement in the Z direction, check Z axis box, click Origin button.
Level Z+ to A
Rotate plane C to Y- (if plane C is facing front of CMM) about Z+, if plane C is to the right rotate X+ about Z+
Origin Z at datum A, and X and Y at datum B
I am new guy for this user forum, currently I am using PC-DMIS in Camio 8.3. (Nikon Make)
Recently, I found a problem with a alignment issue for my product. It is about a alignment of [A-B I C I D-E ] of part. Please refer to attached file for details. In that A & B are the circles through which we are going to construct a 3S line as a primary datum, then moving ahead C is plane as a secondary datum and lastly D & E are tooth width, from which we need to construct a line through theirs mid points. As in that I don't understand how to do alignment of this part ?
Because there are 2 lines and 1 plane. and mostly unluckily axis of 3D line and Plane is same. Its conflicts my alignment. CAMIO is not allowing me to add 2 line 1 plane alignment anyway.
I don't think it's technically correct in how it's drawn, but in this instance I think the intention is clear.
I think what's maybe throwing you is it's attempting to show the combined datums (A-B and D-E) as datums in their own right - it's not necessary and just confusing (the A-B in the top left view makes sense, the A-B in the top right view is just wrong.)
A-B is your primary - Level to this (3D line generated from A and B) and set two origins on in
C sets the origin in the remaining direction
Generate / Construct line D-E and rotate to that.
I'm not clear from your post what software you're using? Is it Camio or PC-Dmis?
