Creating global fixture coordinate systems from Setups on placed parts

If you want to use a Setup of a part that you have placed on the tombstone to locate other part Setups, use the following procedure:

1. Open the Fixture Offset Locations dialog in one of these ways:

   

   • Click the Fixture ID step in the Steps Toolbox.
   • Click the Fixtures button in the Tombstone Process Plan dialog.
2. Click the Add button. The Fixture Location wizard is displayed.
3. Select Create the fixture zero at the origin of a setup and click Next.

   The Select Fixture Setup page is displayed.

4. Select the Setup whose origin you want to use and click Next.

   The Fixture ID page opens.

5. Enter the Fixture ID to use for the first face. You probably don't need to change the default value because it was set when you placed the first part.
6. If you want to set the origin of each face at the same point, select Use the same fixture ID on each orientation.
7. If you want to use a different origin for each face, select Increment the fixture ID for each orientation.
8. Click the Finish button.

   The fixture offsets you create are displayed, in the Graphics window, on each face of the tombstone with the symbol.

   The Fixture Offset Locations dialog lists the fixture IDs you created.

9. Click OK to accept them.

   The faces that they apply to are shown underneath the fixture IDs.

10. Click OK to accept the settings and close the Tombstone Process Plan dialog.
