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

    Measure and/or construct each of the features you want to use in the alignment.
    Level to the plane.
    Rotate to the line.
    Origin Z to the plane.
    Origin X and Y to the circle.
    Rotate -27.45 degrees.

    There you go....

    Any further help would require more information from you....
    And probably a purchase order for the costs of either training or writing your program for you.
