Great job Jim. How are you doing? I do have a couple of questions though. 1)Why did you choose RPS alignment vs 3D Best Fit? 2) Did you use Space Points? It wasn’t clear in the video. Tom Oakes
Hi Tom! Doing great. Mostly because I like RPS, but I find the control over the attitude of the points to be helpful. I did use space points, but I tend to use plane points with an active probe. I have some other videos on RPS as well.
Is there any way to do a Zero-Point alignment like what can be done in Renishaw Modus? What I mean by this is say putting your prove say half the ruby deep in a hole and then hitting OK or ENTER and the machine setting that as it's start location and finding the part automatically based on programming? This is how I do all my alignments on Renishaw Equators that use Modus software, but I am now starting to learn Calypso and wishing I had similar capability. I am also able to do something similar with OGP Zone3 so i figured it might be possible just have to fine the way.
Excellent video! Thanks!!

Elliott Matsuura Yes, plane points for sure.

What are the difference between base alignment and start alignment sir,
thank you so much
