Good Morning! I'm new to using CAD models. I only used them in class. I created a manual plane, line, point alignment to make the model aligned with the machine. The problem I'm having is when I change my alignment or workplane, my points are no longer aligned with my model. They are offset and mess up my dimensions. Do I need to continually redo the manual alignment to keep everything where it should be or am I missing something else? Thanks in advance!
I don't do manual alignments. If I was doing a manual alignment, I would always fallow up with a DCC alignment right afterwards. Measure the same features just in DCC and make a DCC alignment. When you start dimensioning, recall that same DCC alignment or If there are specific datum callouts, align to those and do your dimensioning. Hope I said this ok. My words make sense in my head. They don't always make sense when i write them down.
