unwanted coordinant rotations

[Mutt_H]

Just upgraded from 2011 to 2019R2.
When I have used XactMeasure the X and Y orientation rotates 90 degrees from my alignment. Legacy dimensions work fine.
any suggestions?

[JacobCheverie]

I have seen some things like this happen before and the fix can be strange sometimes. Can you post your code?

What are your datum features A, B, and C? Can you show the code for those and your alignment code?

[JEFMAN]

Not the solution, but I wouldn't use "<>" in the scan name...
It means "different" in assignments, and sometimes, the demon doesn't understand...

[Mutt_H]

Just renamed the scan and recreated the measurement. Same result.
This is happening with scans and positions as well.

Maybe try building and calibrating new probe files in the upgraded version of PC-DMIS. I've seen unexpected behavior in the software when old probe files are used on upgraded versions.

[Mutt_H]

Good idea. thanks

[brian.freeman]

I have seen this numerous times: Usually it is the Datums vector that creates this problem. I.E. Datum B is -X, whereas DMIS 'flips' the coordinates to get the B datum to +Y.
to get around this create the ABC alignment and "Use Current Alignment" in the FCF creator.

Primary is DATUM-A- which is the top plane
Secondary is DATUM-B- which is the center of the part where side one is a flat surface where a line can be created. Side two is a radius where the datum is a point on the apex.
Tertiary DATUM-C- is the center of the part from 2 small flat on each side of the part
