Using Leap Sets - Using Stations - Activating the Current Station
Activating the Current Station
Within a Leap Set one Station is always selected for use. You can choose to activate the currently selected Station at any time as long as the Station has been previously measured or it is the Primary Station. When a Station is active, Alignment Manager uses the transformation data contained by the object to convert your device coordinates into the part coordinate system defined by the Primary Station. Deactivation of the alignment item causes future data to be collected in device coordinates.
To Activate or Deactivate the Current Leap Set Station
-
Right click on
on the RevWorks toolbar, or
Access Alignment Manager and -
Right click on
at the top of the alignment document tree, or
right click on the current Leap Set item, or
