Change Active Workplane

I am new to PC-DMIS and our machine was just installed. As I am constructing my manual alignment, I am asked "Do you want to make Y- or X+ the active workplane? I didn't notice this at the training center. Should I use the "don't ask me this again" in this case?

  • The software needs to be able to see the features. Imagine a 2d circle probed in Z axis 0,0,1 vector. You can see it if looking up or down in the Z axis, now look at it in Y axis direction, it looks like a line. Software can't see it. That's why it needs to be created and dimensioned in the correct work plane.
