#### To Recover after Accidentally Moving a Part

If a part has been moved accidentally,

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

2. Enter the ID of the alignment to be re-measured as the first and second alignment ID.

3. Re-measure the alignment features. When this is completed, all dimensional and feature information will be translated to the new position of the part. The CAD model won't move relative to the alignment axes, but the measured values will move once PC-DMIS executes the equate alignment.

If this command is used to equate the same alignment in a part program, PC-DMIS will not display the command line in the Edit window.

A command line will only be displayed in the Edit window if two different alignments are selected. An external alignment can be used if it is different from the equated alignment. The external alignment must be recalled using the RECALL/ALIGNMENT, EXTERNAL command before it will be displayed.

The Edit window command line for this option reads:
EQUATE/"name"TO ALIGNMENT,"alignment_name"
