3 Plane Alignment (Cad)

This guide will take you through the steps required to create a 3 Plane alignment, without the use of aCAD model.

The guide will lead you through a Manual alignment, then an Automatic alignment.

The drawing below shows a part marked with the Datum’s A, B and C.

Datum A will be used as the primary ais. This ais can be set by the measurement of a plane.This plane can then be used to control the Z axis direction and the Z origin.

Datum B will be used to set the secondary ais. This ais can be set by the measurement of a plane.This plane can then be used to control the Y axis direction and Y origin.

Datum C will be used as the tertiary. This will set by the measurement of plane.This plane can then be used to set the X origin.

3 Plane Alignment (CAD)

1. Create a new program %see how to create a new program using CAD&.

The manual alignment can now be set.

#. 'et the Primary axis and origin from the inspection of a plane. This is shown on the

drawing as Datum A. This plane can be used to set axis and origin.

a. (nspect a Plane.

b. Click on the )rimary plane of the model in the Model *indow.

c. 'et the plane name in the properties menu.

d. Apply.

e. +sing the hand bo, take points on the plane. The window below will appear

f. 'et the alignment and the origin for this plane.

. 'et the !econdary axis and origin from the inspection of a plane. This is shown on thedrawing as Datum B. This plane can be used to set " axis and " origin.

a. (nspect a Plane.

b. Click on the 'econdary plane of the model in the Model *indow .

c. 'et the plane name and mode in the properties menu.

The manual alignment has now been set as #er the drawing.

The Ais and origin %)rimary& has been set using the /Man0top’ plane %Datum A&.The 1 ais and origin %'econdary& has been set using the /Man0side’ plane %Datum B&.The 2 origin %Tertiary& has been set using the /Man03ront’ plane %Datum C

After a manual alignment, an Automatic alignment must be performed.

The automatic alignment can now be set.

4. 'et the Primary axis and origin from the inspection of a plane. This is shown on thedrawing as Datum A. This plane can be used to set axis and origin.

a. "efore measuring the plane. 5nsure that the probe has a clear path to first point ofthe plane.

This can be done by adding a mo6e point in Auto $ode.

b. (nspect a Plane.

c. Click on the )rimary plane of the model in the Model *indow.

The ais and origin %)rimary ais& has been set using Auto0top plane %DAT-$ A&.The 1 ais and 1 origin %'econdary ais& has been set using Auto0side plane %DAT-$ B&.The 2 origin %Tertiary& has been set using Auto0front plane %DAT-$ C&.

The Automatic alignment has now been set and the #art is now &ullylocated on the C$$.
