PCM Strategy

Recommended Posts

I have a family of parts. The geometry is the same, but each P/N changes size in all axis.

My base alignment uses (in-part) two angled planes to construct a symmetry plane for X

Each of the parts, the  two planes have a different angles and XZ coordinates. I have those

variables in a para file for the first part. The problem is, I don't know the best way to move

the points with PCM as the planes change. Do I have to have XYZ for each of the 4 points

for each plane? Or is there a simpler way?

Is it at all possible to use a search distance for each individual point? 

Or maybe take one point that you know will touch in a location every single time with search distance. Then your individual plane points can reference back based off where that search distance point was taken?

 

I think I understand what you're asking, but if I don't then disregard that message

I understand. I have to use PCM. There are 5 groups 9 sizes and 45-part numbers. All in 5 separate programs.
