Aligning two planes on different angles

Carter04Julian
I am trying to align two planes one being datum -A- and the other being offset from plane A by 10 degrees. I am measuring a cylinder on the offset plane and no matter how I align the two planes it shows the cylinders location in the wrong location. If I create an alignment with the offset plane and cylinder it shows it in the proper location but it shows my other features that are parallel with plane A in the wrong location.

What am I doing wrong? I've tried many different ways of aligning and nothing has worked
Any advice is strongly appreciated!

  • If I understand what you are saying, make -A- primary level and zero it.

    Measure the angled plane.

    Create a line from the intersection of the two planes.

    Use that line for the rotation in your alignment.

    See if that gives you want you want.

    I think you are leveling -A- and then trying to rotate the other plane. If -A- is ZPLUS, that other plane has a TON of K and not much I or J, and I would think that would give your problems with repeatability.

    The line intersection will have no K and all I and J, so it should repeat... OK. This depends on how flat the planes are, your point distribution, cleanliness maybe, burrs. But if everything is clean and smooth, I think the line would do better for you... IF I understand your problem correctly.
