Dear forum members, does anybody can share his/her experience of round parts alinment when using a portable arm? I tried to align tube with two rounded slots and through holes but each time I faced with inversion of two coordinates after alignment - when moving probe in x+ or z+ ditection it translated in x- or z- direction accordingly in pc dmis interface. I have no any idea what should I start from to prevent this inversion. Please help.
Try aligning using the circles directly (not creating a line between them). Remember that the DIRECTION of the line between the CIR1 & CIR2 is important, if you get this wrong you will get a flipped alignment, just as you mention.
Primary alignment use the plane.
Secondary alignment, select CIR1 and then CIR2 and Y-PLUS around Z-PLUS (the selection order of the circles are important).
