Hello everyone! I am having trouble trying to figure out how to align and dimension this part. I am programming offline to a supplied CAD model from the customer (I can't upload the file but I took screenshots of what the part looks like). The only dimensions they gave are the 3.000, 8.000, and 5.456" dimensions for the height, length, and width. The bottom of the part is flat and that will be my Z level and origin. As for the rest of the part I have no idea where to even start. Does anyone have any suggestions?
As far as dimensioning the part, I only need to report the 3 dimensions above and I was going to do profile of a surface on the rest of the part.
Thank you in advance!
Level on the flat like you mention, rotate to the angled flat on either side. Origin Z on the flat used to level, origin X or Y on the intersection of the angled flat and the flat used to level. Set your remaining origin on a fixed reference point relative to the part, possibly something used to hold the part.
