Good video. I am not trying to bust your chops but when using Base Alignment or a secondary alignment as the reference in a position, it doesn’t take advantage of using Outer Tangential Evaluation or constraints as required in GD&T per ASME Y14.5. Yes, you could go into the alignment and activate these functions but why, when you can have them be applied automatically by assigning each datum feature to its respective Primary, Secondary or Tertiary role. This only requires that OTE and constrain per ISO 5459 options be active under Form Datum in Measurement Settings. I’m definitely in favor of using secondary alignments in the feature, when needed, because they can make it easier to validate nominal values. As you showed, saving the datum reference frame name is a good way to simplify repetitive instances. I understand you may have been trying to keep the video short and simple but I feel it’s important to mention that there may be more to uncover,. Maybe this could be addressed in a future video? 😁
how to do alignment with 321 when three planes are not perpendicular to each other. For that datum target points defined 3 points for primary, 2 points for secondary and 1 point for tertiary. ? thank you
Have you ever seen different results using the different methods but checking the same feature? We have and can not explain why unless the method of selecting each in the output is not properly aligning and more so translating where as the Alignment methods is actually doing the full control?
very well explained. thank you and keep doing more videos like this short but a lot of information to learn.
Thanks, will do!
