How to align cad model to the selected BASE ALIGNMENT

[[Sa...]]

I am new to calypso i created a base alignment plane a line and a point on a fixture i want to move the cad file to the selected base alignment. Using Cad modification how do i do that.

Am i in the right window to do or is that there is any mistake in the base alignment selected.

 

the base alignment window:

 

Or should i use any changes here in special window to align cad to the probed features:

 

Thanks

Open a new program, load the cad model. Create the datums for your alignment. (A, B C).  Then click on Cad, Save, and save as the new model. Load this new model into your existing program.

This is a new program so just to clarify should i create datum A B AND C on the cad file or the probed features. Thanks

If you have a running program, then Joe's approach is the most efficient.

If you are asking for new programs, then it's easier to extract features from CAD model and do base alignment first.

It will rotate CAD model to match XYZ axis. But don't forget manually run that alignment.
In menu CNC you can block edges which will block navigation of probe. Having wrongly rotated CAD model will move "circled" edges on wrong place. This "circled" edges means it's granite, so manually running alignment will tell Calypso where is granite.

Not checking this can result in non working program without a reason.

Dont forget to  CAD/Cad Model Comparison, to clean up any ghosting which usually occurs when you do this.
