Alignment a/b/z

 How would I include Datum -Z- in the alignment highlighted?
  • This is a method for determining the Datum point Z using just datums A and B

    Measure and align to the datums A, and B

    Using trig calculate the PCR of the point Z in your case that would be 157.385

    Create a series of Generic points with a PR of 157.385 spaced in the area that the cast flat will be rough located
    would suggest spacings of the point of 5 degree . ( note the points must be at the correct height you will need to determine that
    as not on the drawing you posted )

    Create a constructed curve from the points

    Measure a plane on the cast angle face

    Construct an intersection point between the curve and plane

    Construct a 2D line from datum B bore to the point

    Rotate align to the constructed line then offset rotate alignment by 4.0078 degrees.

    Have attached a sample program showing the stages in my example putting a point at 25 PCR, X 5.0
