Trying to setup an ABC alignment. A and B are no problem. Tried constructing a circle through C holes but ‘math failed’. X and Z are constrained with A and B. Y is a problem. Any ideas?
In theory, an iterative alignment can handle it, but I've never tried without a complete bolt pattern.
A few ways to handle it, some versions of PC-DMIS won't be able to handle all of these
1) make a midpoint and but a line between part center line (datum B) and your midpoint, call that C.
2) make 2 preliminary ABC alignments each rotated by 8.75 degrees, so that they're nominally the same. Construct a theoretical point for C within each preliminary alignment, make a centroid, and clock to that.
