alignment

Ok so I am trying to get familiar with pcdmis 4.3 without reading the massive manuals. My shop has had a 2.0 arm and this software for quite some time without really being used much at all. our programs are written for virtual dmis and in use with old arms that no one will even calibrate anymore.

I am currently stumped as to how to make the correct cordinate alignment. I am writing offline with only prints no cad. Using datum A plane a line constructed out of Db and DC . I want to referance x and y back to DB circle with a -27.45 rotation on the x.

Can anyone please walk me through this.

Thanks in advance,
Christopher

Hello Christopher,

Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here who generally are happy help a new person learn. However your post begins with a statement that indicates you do not wish to put forth any more effort than is absolutely necessary. If that attitude works for you, great. But I would humbly suggest you abandon Pc-Dmis in favor of some other software that focuses on a dumbed-down-for-dummies methodology.

Considering you might be wondering what I am going on about I provide the following translation:
