Part alignment when datums are not locked to one axis

Hello all,

How do I go about doing a part alignment on this part? The part is sitting on a 45 between Z and X axis and I can't remember how to lock it in i'm having severe brain fog. I'm used to parts being parallel to an axis which I have no problem aligning too. Just looking for the correct method. I dont use Xact.


Thanks!

  • If this is a casting with defined casting datum targets you would have to use iterative alignment (and be sure to enter all values exactly as they appear on the print).

    If this is rotated by a basic, but not a casting, you can rotate by an angle (offset angle in dialogue box), but iterative may still be a good idea, depending on your situation.
