Read point alignment.

Good day all,
I am attempting to start programming using a read point alignment. I am either not doing it right at all or I think the issue might be that I am using clearance cube.

any help is much appreciated.

If you offset the alignment values by the readpoint you can select any feature on a CAD model and use that and keep all the co-ordinates the same.

READPOINT  =FEAT/POINT,CARTESIAN
            THEO/<3611.001,565.7,2567.672>,<0,0,1>
            ACTL/<-1087.967,-220.647,790.569>,<0,0,1>
            READPOINT/
A3         =ALIGNMENT/START,RECALL:STARTUP,LIST=YES
            ALIGNMENT/TRANS,XAXIS,READPOINT
            ALIGNMENT/TRANS_OFFSET,XAXIS,-3611.001
            ALIGNMENT/TRANS,YAXIS,READPOINT
            ALIGNMENT/TRANS_OFFSET,YAXIS,-565.7
            ALIGNMENT/TRANS,ZAXIS,READPOINT
            ALIGNMENT/TRANS_OFFSET,ZAXIS,-2567.672
            ALIGNMENT/END
