Use the Plane, Circle, Circle option to create a Geometric PLP Alignment item and the items required to calculate the alignment's transformation matrix. The plane specifies the Z axis; the first circle controls the position of the alignment origin, and a constructed line between the circle centres specifies the X axis.
Note: This option is available only when creating an inspection for use on CNC or Manual machines.
To create the alignment:
- In the inspection sequence, open a Geometric group or Simple Measures group.
- Click Simple Measures tab > PLP Alignments panel > Plane, Circle, Circle.
A Probed Plane item, two Probed Circle items, and a Line: Two Points item are added to the group; a Geometric PLP Alignment item is added to the Definition level of the inspection sequence.
