So im working on this part, and im trying to use the level rotate and origin alignment. I understand which vectors to level to and rotate too. However the machine isnt correctly reading where the part is after i allign it. Am i supposed to find the origin offset of each origin and offset it too that? like click on the cad for the Yorigin and enter the negative value in the origin box? Im also trying to use CAD=PART. Ive been programming 2 years, have mastered iterative aligns but barely use the level rotate and origin align but it seems like the programmers im learning from arent comfortable with using it either
CAD=PART is only needed if you write a program on the CMM and later import a CAD model and want to align it to the program. If you have the CAD model when you start the program, create features from the CAD model and align to them. Whether or not you offset is only important relative to the dimensions you need.
So even without using CAD=PART, okay so I take my plane, my line, my point on a given part. I align it to the x-y-z vectors correctly. What am I not doing correctly ? Am I supposed to be offsetting an origin to the points I am taking from the cad?
