I have searched on this forum and tried everything to make my CAD import and alignment work but I am still having problems. The CAD file I am importing has both its origins and vectors oriented correctly so I don't need to re-orient them. I take four hits on the top face, two on the front face and one on the left face. I have selected these points both manually as well as directly from the CAD model. I then insert an alignment. I have tried Iterative, non-iterative, CAD = PART, and anything else that I read on this site. When I run the program, it works the first time through when I follow the prompts to manually probe the part, my alignment works and I am then able to measure an array of holes on the part. The problem occurs when I try to run the program a second time in DCC. All of the target positions in my 7 points used for alignment have changed to the part work coordinates instead of the machine work coordinates so I get an "OUT OF TOLERANCE" error since the machine appears to be looking for machine work coordinate positions. I have been working on this for about 6 hours now and have runout of ideas.
