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?

  • Adding to what has been said your manual alignment has PLN5 with THEO vector as 1,0,0 ( X plus ) but measures 0,1,0 ( Y plus ) it is then used to Level to X plus? There is also no rotation in the alignment.

    The DCC alignment has the datum E with THEO vector of 1,0,0 (x plus) but measures as 0,-1,0 ( Y minus), datum B has vectors 1,0,0 (X plus) but measures 0,-1,0 ( Y minus).

    Datum B ( Y minus) is used as Level X plus?

    Constructed line2 has a vector of 1,0,0 ( X plus) but is used as a Y plus rotation about X ?

    Your DCC alignment sequence is wrong should always be LEVEL, ROTATE,TRANSLATE, never LEVEL,TRANSLATE,ROTATE.
