## Pointcloud Alignments

Pointcloud/CAD Alignment dialog box

In order to use the data you’ve collected in your clouds of points properly, you need to create an alignment between the pointclouds and the CAD data with your part model. You can do this using the Pointcloud/CAD Alignment dialog box.

To access this dialog box,

- From the main menu:

1. Select the
   Insert | Alignment | New menu option.

2. Click Align COP.

Note: The Align COP button will not be available if there is no imported CAD of COP commands in the part program, since these elements are required to align the pointclouds to CAD.

- From the Edit Window’s Command mode between the ALIGNMENT/START and the ALIGNMENT/END commands:

1. Type COPALIGN in the Edit window’s Command mode.

2. Press ENTER to insert the command.

3. Place your cursor on the COPALIGN command and press F9.

The Pointcloud/CAD alignment dialog box allows you to easily work with COPALIGN commands to correctly align pointclouds with your CAD.
