Interesting. Thanks for sharing your process, CADOP, although I'm still not sure about the AXIS-TO-AXIS transformation to move parts.
And I'm puzzled why the part didn't position itself at 0,0,0 when you first inserted it into the assembly.
I was always taught the part origin didn't really make much difference. Just use Assembly Constraints to position parts with respect to other parts. Especially when it is so easy to inadvertantly move a part when it's not constrained.
But I never considered the effects this would have on CMM processes.
What do you do when the same part is used multiple times (and at different locations) within the same assembly?
I guess this proves there are always more than one way to do things. Interesting.
