  • First time CAD alignment

    Hello, This is my cad model and coordinate system when I import it into pcdmis. My actual part is on CMM is placed as on the picture down left. How do I transform coordinate system to other point on my CAD model? How do I align it with my actual part…
  • Mastering Move Points

    The first job I programmed CMMs at it seems that when I inserted move points in my program that it worked great and exactly like I wanted it to. I could create move points in my programs OFFLINE and they would move to the exact coordinates relative to…
  • How to do cad to part alignment

  • Manual alignment not "snapping" to cad geometry

    Hello all, I am hitting a major block in my programing for a cylindrical part. After importing the CAD model and establishing an alignment, my trihedron is right where I want it. using a top plane to level the part and establish translation in…
