Transform question

[Curty_82]

Does any one know if we can transform the X,Y,Z and keep the aerospace coordinate as well and report the aerospace coordinate but program to the transformed axis..

[Lord_Warfield]

could you just not report the nominals and measured.... and just report deviation error only?

[Curty_82]

But you wouldn't get to keep both coordinates that way.. I want to transform orgin to ABC.. but still keep the aerospace coordinate so I can report that information to the customer so they can quickly put it in there model as a point map.. but i want to report the dims to my abc transform.. yes i know you can align that way but thats not really what im asking..

Assign/left_hole_x = loc.1.x.dev
assign/left_hole_y = loc.1.y.dev

Im not sure im helping!

[Curty_82]

thats still not what im asking.. do you ever use transform??

[Curty_82]

LOL no but but maybe im not explaining it the best too..

You can't have more than one co-ordinate system. It's either in aero-space or it's to what you transform it to, you can't have both.

Sad days.. thank you Matt.. I didn't think you could but thought there might be a little trick.. It be a nice to be able to do that though..

[Matthew D. Hoedeman]

You can do this:

1) Leave the cad data in aero-space
2) ALIGN it
3) program it (dimension it, maybe yes, maybe no)
4) Make a new alignment using the 'local' co-ordinate system you want
5) Dimension it and report it for your guys
6) EXPORT the check features to the aero-space alignment for the customer to import.
