Good morning, the datums defined on the customer print are a bit confusing and may not be defined correctly (big surprise).
Datum A = Plane
Datum B = Hole
Datum C = Axis between 2 opposing studs the location of which is defined as basic in the X,Z plane from datum B. I have picked up the diameters of both studs and created a 3d line between them. Then I created a point at the midpoint of this line to use for Datum C.
Datum A is leveled to Y Pos
Datum B is constrained to X=0.0 Z=0.0
I believe the part now has to rotate around datum B until it gets as close as possible to the basic location of datum C. (Best fit for C only rotating around datum B).
If the above interpretation is correct what is the correct alignment method to "clock" the part and remove the last remaining degree of freedom? BTW I am using a CAD model and V4.0 for todays festivities.
Thanks !!!
