Aligns an instrument (or set of instruments) to one or more CAD surfaces using QuickAlign to CAD or QuickAlign to CAD faces.

Collection Instrument ID Ref List |
Instrument IDs |
A list of one or more instruments to apply the resulting transform to. |
1 |
Collection Object Name Ref List |
Objects |
A list of one or more objects to transform during the alignment. |
2 |
Point Name Ref List |
Nominal Points (optional) |
Nominal points to measure. |
3 |
String Ref List |
Nominal Point of View Names (optional) |
A list of named views that (sequentially) match the list of nominal points. |
4 |
Boolean |
Align to Individual Faces Only (not Entire Surface) |
Set to True will use only the proximal CAD faces not the full surface. |
None.
SUCCESS |
The new instruments were aligned successfully. |
FAILURE |
The instrument, objects, nominal points (if specified), or nominal views (if specified) could not be found. |
[Arg. 2] defines a list of nominal points used for the alignment process. When the MP is run these points will be projected to the closes Visible CAD surfaces and this list of surfaces will be used for the alignment. So make sure your CAD surfaces are visible when this command is run.
[Arg. 4] is used to choose between a full surface fit or a fit to only specific CAD faces. This CAD face option, possible when A4 = True, restricts the alignment to a greater extent and can be helpful when a single small face is key to the alignment process.
