### Cad View Alignments

This section describes the process of creating alignments using the Cad View in PC-DMIS Vision. This is commonly used when you are measuring online and have imported CAD. Creating both Manual (rough) and DCC (refined) alignments as outlined below will help ensure the accuracy of your alignment. This two-step alignment process is not required but is recommended.

If you are working on manual machine you can take advantage of this two-alignment approach by using the AutoShutter feature to assist you. See "Setting up the Live View" for information on the AutoShutter feature.

For this alignment example the HexagonDemoPart.igs demo part must be imported prior to beginning. See "Importing the Vision Demo Part".

Complete the following steps to create an alignment using the Live View:

- Step 1: Manually Measure an Edge Point

- Step 2: Create an Manual Alignment

- Step 3: Measure Datum A Features

- Step 4: Construct Datum A

- Step 5: Measure Datums B and C

- Step 6: Create a DCC Alignment

- Step 7: Update Display in CAD View

In this example the "Classic" Alignment Utilities dialog box will be used to show how this dialog box can be used, where the "Live View Alignments" example will use the 3 2 1 Alignment Wizard.
