I'm Drawing A Blank..... Need Some Quick Help.....i Have A Part That 20" X 20" X 1" Thick And Has A Few Holes Over The Entire Part. Found Out We Have A Catia Model For This Plate So I Had My Catia Guru Save It As A Iges File. Created A Program And Downloaded The Iges File, All Is Good So Far. Went And Check In Manual Mode The Features For The Alignment, Created The Alignment "so My Question Here Is Should I Use The Cad = Part Here After The Manual Or After The 1st Dcc And Do I Suppose To Use The Same Features That Created The Catia Alignment? What Is The Rules Of Ingagement Here I'm Drawing A Blank..........help

To help with the CAD = Part you better make sure before you start measuring you know where and how the orgins are set up on the model because that is the way you need to align it to use the CAD = part function.
You can only CAD = Part one time that I can think of not sure where Matt was coming from but heck we are at a 3 day high of 5 degrees!!
Before doing CAD = Part don't fret if the points are way off the model but after doing the CAD = Part it better be exactly where it needs to be.

I think it's coming back...let's seeeee..... If I go and touch with my mouse in the graphic window and create the feature for the alignment and then run my part and manually touch my features I do not need cad = part. is that correct...sigpic

You do NOT need to do CAD=PART if you are doing an iterative alignment, it is 'included' in the iterative alignment. However, you CAN do so after the alignment and it will not hurt. I use CAD=PART for every alignment I make, in every program. Now, I am not saying that these 2 things are connected, but I also NEVER have an issue with nominals changing or move points going haywire.sigpic

Occasionally I choose to not use a CAD=PART or an iterative alignment when not using cad or when I'm measuring a pretty simple part. I simply transform the alignment to the part (you must have 4.0 or greater to transform). I then do a readpoint or read the CMM position. I translate to the readpoint and begin a DCC alignment from that starting point.sigpic
