I need that alignment worksheet from Calypso

Can someone attach that Alignment worksheet from Calypso?
I changed jobs and i cant find my old file.

What is the easiest way to align a part with no flat surfaces in the X or Y direction, and no circles over 10º of arc.
I would like to do an overall profile but i cant get calypso to align the part using radii as X and Y and rotation.

I had a similar part, Cervical Plates.
These parts have no normal surfaces are are primarily a giant Taurus.
I used FreeForm to create my alignment.
Note: All points from center to the left of the part were mirrored to the right, all nominals and vectors are 100% pure geometry.
This mirrored geometry in theory helps to balance the part for an alignment in leu of random points.

I ended up putting it on the Keyence vision machine.
Only because we are in the middle of an end of the month rush and the CMM was busy as f for the past 2 days.

Using alignments from FreeForm Surfaces and even Curves is a great tool.

You just turn on the Best Fit inside the Evaluation tab (turn on which axis you want to translate/rotate), and then click on Create Alignment.

I use this method for simple tasks like finding the location/size on small/short arc radii to aligning to complex geometry.
