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!
So this is where I'm at. I started a new program. I created a manual alignment using auto features to align my model with the machine. Then I used DCC and auto features for whatever I needed to measure. Everything lines up with the CAD and the dimensions are correct. The problem comes in when I change my tip from A0B0 to A52.5B90. I can select my auto features, but instead of being lined up correctly with the CAD, it shows my circle, plane, etc. offset from the actual location. When I execute my circle for example, it will crash since it is measuring offset rather than the correct location. Some people suggested using read points which I have used to execute my circle without crashing, but it’s still not aligned to the model. When I try to dimension these features as is, they are obviously wrong. When I try to do a new alignment after the tip change, the previously aligned features from before the tip change become offset and I’m unable to get the correct location and/or angle of my trihedron. Something about this is going over my head, I'm sure of it.
I am using a master probe. I was swamped with something else today, but first thing tomorrow, I'll recalibrate everything and see how it goes from there.
