Creating a New Primary Station Alignment
You can add multiple alignment items to the Primary Station, but only one can be selected for use. The selected alignment item affects the coordinate system used by all stations within the Leap Set. When Origins are selected for use, the digitizer’s internal coordinate system is used for the Leap Set and only the origin of the coordinate system is affected. When Datums are used a complete part coordinate system is defined.
