DefaultAlignmentIsMachineCoordinates

This registry entry allows you to change the default alignment from CAD coordinates to machine coordinates when you run PC-DMIS in Offline mode.

When PC-DMIS uses machine coordinates in Offline mode with a virtual machine displayed, the origin is at the home position of the machine rather than the CAD origin. This allows you to maintain the origin location while moving parts using quick fixtures.

The use of machine coordinates allows you to program moves in machine coordinates before the initial alignment. It also more accurately reflects the online case. When this registry entry is set to TRUE (1), PC-DMIS uses machine coordinates.

Entry Name: DefaultAlignmentIsMachineCoordinates

Entry Type: Whole number that specifies TRUE (1) or FALSE (0). The default value is 0.
