Public Properties

AboutAxis	Represents the axis about which the alignment object rotates.
Angle	Represents the offset angles of a 3D or 2D alignment.
AverageError	Represents whether or not error averaging is used during the iterative alignment.
AXIS	Represents the axis that the alignment object uses.
BFOffset	Represents the offsets of a 3D or 2D alignment.
CadToPartMatrix	Represents the matrix used to transform points between the cad and part alignment systems.
ExternalFileID	Represents the external filename for recalling external alignments. For objects of type SAVE_ALIGN, it should include a ‘.aln’ extension and can include the fully qualified directory path. If it does not, indicates the alignment file should be written to the PC-DMIS default recall directory. For objects of type RECALL_ALIGN set to recall an external alignment file, it should be only the filename, without a directory path or an extension. Note: for releases prior to 2012, the required format is <filename>:<ExternalID> For example, if you create a SAVE_ALIGN object with ExternalFileID = “A2saved.aln” and ExternalID = “A2”, you would specify the RECALL_ALIGN object ExternalFileID as “A2saved:A2”. This property should not be set if recalling an internal alignment.
ExternalID	Represents the external ID. For objects of type SAVE_ALIGN, it should be the name of the alignment being saved to a file. For example, if you are saving alignment ‘A2’ to a file, set ExternalID to “A2”. For objects of type RECALL_ALIGN set to recall an external alignment file, ExternalID should be set to “External”. Note: for releases prior to 2012, the required value is whatever the corresponding SAVE_ALIGN object ExternalID was set to, for example “A2”. For objects of type RECALL_ALIGN set to recall an internal alignment, this property should be set to the name of the internal alignment being recalled.
FeatID	Represents the first (or only) feature ID used by this alignment object.
FeatID2	Represents the second feature ID used by this alignment object.
FindCad	Represents the FindCad property status of this best fit alignment object.
ID	Represents the ID of this alignment object.
InitID	Represents the intial ID of this alignment object. The intial ID is the ID of the alignment to recall before modifying it with this alignment.
IterativeLevelAxis	Represents the level axis for an iterative alignment.
IterativeOriginAxis	Represents the origin axis for an iterative alignment.
IterativeRotateAxis	Represents the rotate axis for an iterative alignment.
MachineToPartMatrix	Represents the matrix used to transform points between the machine and part alignment systems.
MeasAllFeat	Represents the "Measure All Features" property of this iterative alignment object.
MeasAllFeatAlways	Represents the "Measure All Features Always" property of this iterative alignment object.
NumInputs	Returns the number of inputs to this alignment object. Read-only Long.
Offset	Represents the offset property of this offset alignment object.
Parent	Returns the parent Command object. Read-only.
PointTolerance	Represents the "Point Tolerance" property of this alignment object.
RepierceCad	Represents whether or not to repierce the cad model during the execution of this iterative alignment object.
UseBodyAxis	Represents whether or not to use the "Body Axis” method during the calculation of this iterative alignment object.
Workplane	Represents the workplane of this alignment object. It can take the values PCD_XPLUS, PCD_XMINUS, PCD_YPLUS, PCD_YMINUS, PCD_ZPLUS, and PCD_ZMINUS.
