I have a few questions and concerns I was hoping could get addressed. So thank you for your insight in advance.
A coworker and I were having a discussion about using the readpoint alignment to inspect a whole part. I said that is not good practice.
Anyway, he did so and inspected a part using just the readpoint. Numbers were coming out ok...so I was a bit confused.
Can you use the readpoint to inspect the whole part? He also said that you dont need to align to datums. That you can pick them up as normal features then when dimensioning something like true position you can just select those features.
This has really thrown me for a loop. This isn't really good practice...right? Shouldnt a basic alignment of the part be conducted after the readpoint to just solidify it a bit more? Then probe the same features again with a few more hits to refine it?
Is it necessary to do this? And one more thing, I've searched high...I've searched low, I still am not sure when folks talk about legacy or exactmeasure. How do I know what mode I'm in? How do I switch between?
Thanks for reading.
