Alignin to generic feature

Would leveling to a generic feature in an alignment cause any issues?

I have a part where the customer has poorly chosen datum features for a second datum structure, ABC being solid, DEF not so much.
Specifically the -D- plane feature is small compared to the rest of the part and at a very small angle from -A-, and I think this is causing issues.

My thought is I could align to ABC then create a generic plane for -D- and compare the real surface to that.

  • The big problem I've ran into when using generic features for alignment purposes is when the feature is made up of something dynamic like a variable value to define its attributes. Use logic to prevent an erroneous value from making it to your generic feature... your machine won't ask whether it should self destruct or not.
