If you are tolerancing the location of Features (X,Y,Z), you must build an
Alignment. The Alignment is also know as the X,Y,Z Coordinate System
of your part, and references the location of features from an Alignment
Origin (0,0,0).
You will choose your Features and build an Alignment by defining three
major components; the XY plane, the X-axis, and the Origin. These are
often called 3-2-1 Alignments.
Note: X,Y,Z location results do not display for Features and Dimensions
until you build an Alignment.
1. Touch the Alignment Icon. In every Part file, the Alignment Icon will
display in the following colors:
•
Gray - the proper features do not exist to build an Alignment.
•
Green - the proper features exist to build an Alignment.
•
Red and Blue - An Alignment exists in the Part file. Touch the Edit
button to change, or delete the Alignment.
