DCC alignment not automatically following manual alignment

MomPickMeUpImScared
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?

  • on a side note how do you handle a part with no clocking features in pcdmis, section of straight pipe for example... I've been rotating to a constructed line to maintain the machine axis as rotation, this part was a simple bushing, ID, OD, and length. To be honest I'm not fuilly convinced it is needed, my understanding was machine axis is maintained anyway in its absence but others have me wondering so knowing it won't hurt I do this now....



    There is an example routine and explanation of how this should be handled on the "discover" tab of the home page in 2020 R1. It's called radially symmetric part alignment.
