## Equating an Alignment

Equate Alignment dialog box

The Insert | Alignment | Equate option equates two alignments. This option provides the means to:

- Change the position or orientation of a part while retaining previous dimensional information.

- Re-align the part and save previously measured data if the part is accidentally bumped or moved during the inspection process.

Note: For Equate Alignment to function properly, the features referenced in your new alignment must be measured after you move your part. Additionally, you should reference all of the features for your new alignment in a single alignment block.

The following items are used in the Equate Alignment dialog box:

Equate new alignment:

This list allows you to select the new alignment you are equating with your original created alignment.

With Original Alignment
