Mounting part on setup tooling

mcultice
2011 MR1, Romer 7525

I have been programming offline, using only the part model "floating in space", and creating a local coordinate system on the part. I want to bring models of knee blocks, 1-2-3 blocks, and other setup equipment in so I can program around real-world setups, allowing me to simulate datums, etc. I am finding the instructions in the Help screen very vague.

Can anybody give me (or point me to) a step-by-step tutorial on resting a part on a knee block in my Graphics Display Window?

  • Some of the parts we produce are long or thin and fairly flexible; they frequently need to be secured to a block or table to restrain them. This usually makes the primary datum inaccessible.

    To achieve the same end, can I program using the actual model surface, then pick up the mating surface when the part is measured? What modifications have to be made in the alignment to do this?
