Do I need to physically perform an alignment before programming the rest of the moves? I assume not but I cant figure out how to get around this.
What I've done is programmed all of the features. First a cylinder and plane (for alignment) in manual mode, and the rest of the features dcc mode. When I hit execute I first manually measure the cylinder and plane, then dcc takes over and tries hitting off in space. It seems like its using the pre-programmed coordinates for hits rather than adjusting the dcc hits based on the alignment.
I reenabled manual to take the hits on the 27 spline major and minor. Since the splines aren't timed with each other they will be in different orientations each part.
