Greetings,
I'm using 3.7 mr3. I create an alignment on the part (call it align1) It matches my CAD exactly so I do a CAD = Part. I then measure all the required points, holes, bosses, etc. So then lets say an error has occured on the CNC machine and everything is shifted .010- .012 thou. in Y direction. I will be asked if we move the origin .006 in Y then what will everything check? I create a new alignment (call it align 2) and just change the Y origin. Then if I reoutput all the features I measured before, will they be related to the new alignment? Or do they have to be remeasured? Sometimes I can't remeasure because the part is out of the CMM room already. It does not always seem to work quite right. Am I missing something?
Any and all help appreciated.
I'm working on plastic injection molds and we reference a tooling pin hole for our origin.
Thank You,
John
