Alignment Question

Hello. I am trying to better understand how alignments work. For example the advantages of doing multiple alignments vs one single alignment, rotating before translating, etc.

If you don't rotate before you translate, then what XY values does the software use for translation? Does it take the XY values from the alignment the feature was measured in?

Sorry, this question is a bit hard to convey. See, a while back I had a program that gave me different profile results if I translated before I rotated and I'm trying to understand the theory of why.

  • I have been experimenting a bit...I think I figured it out.

    Level, Translate XY, then Rotate seems to give me the same result as Level, Rotate, Translate XY...........UNLESS I have an offset involved. OR, if I use different features for my X and Y translations.

    Sorry I am having trouble fully grasping some of the responses.
