How do insert a variable value in alignment

dcoss

I have some production parts that have been reworked and they are slightly shorter than normal.  I am taking a point on the plane in Y- and I assigned it to a variable to find out how much it shifted.  How can I take this offset and put it in an alignment to offset the Y in that amount?  The alignment utility doesn't seem to like variables...

    You won't be able to use the variable directly in the alignment without it affecting subsequent nominal values.  A better approach is to feed the variable into a generic feature and then use that generic feature in the alignment.  In your case (if I it understand correctly), you would have a generic point whose THEO X, Y, Z, I, J & K were fixed and you would feed your variable into the MEAS Y.  You would then follow the generic point with an alignment that set the Y origin on the generic point.
