So I want to setup AB alignment here. Holes with 'K' are -B- Datums. I want to set rotation using -B- holes but dont want to rotate to that line between them. In Calypso I was able to do this. How in PC Dmis?
-Load model in the same orientation shown & put the part on the machine like that as well
-Find the part using a simple readpoint alignment or something similar. Once the part is found...
-Probe a plane on -A- (PLN_A)
-Probe both circles for -B- (CIR_B1 and CIR_B2)
-Create an offset line from CIR_B1 to CIR_B2 with an offset value of X-7.07. This will create LIN_B with a perfect 0,1,0 vector
-Create new alignment and all at once...Recall startup...Level ZPLUS to PLN_A...Rotate LIN_B YPLUS about the ZPLUS, X&Y Origin is CIR_B1 and Z Origin is PLN_A...Offset X+ 0.505...Offset Y-3.897
-Now you're constrained to the datum structure with your "0" at blueprint nominal
