How do insert a variable value in alignment

dcoss 8 months ago

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.
