DCC alignment not automatically following manual alignment

Hello all,

I'm new to PC DMIS and I'm having an issue where it seems like my manual alignment is not properly telling my DCC alignment where the features are.

I'll get a program up and running, and then I have to move the part to a different location on the table for one reason or another.

I run another manual alignment, go to run the program, and it doesn't work.

I was able to resolve the problem by re-setting my initial alignment and updating the dependent features, but my understanding is that I shouldn't have to do this every time and that it should do it automatically.

what am I missing here?

  • Manual alignment has 2 levels. That no worky ..... Bad habit to dimension anything before DCC alignment as well., It will bite you sooner or later. After DCC features, create DCC alignment and THEN , start creating additional features. THe postion of DATUM E is realted to your manual alignment not the DCC features. Thats just kind of a mess.....

    LEVEL / ROTATE / And then X-Y-Z- 0.000 ( IN ANY ORDER )
  • I corrected the alignment to what you suggested (luckily I had a backup program) and now it seems to pick up the DCC alignment properly, Thanks!

    I also corrected the nominals of the manual features to what they should be to the manual alignment, thanks for the help!
