Six point alignment
A six point alignment allows the operator to align the model with the
orientation of the part on the stage.
To perform a six point alignment:
 Right click in the Measure Profile3D window
 Select Alignment>Six Point. A prompt appears with directions for
marking points on the model.
 Select OK in the prompt
 Mark three points on the model surface to define a primary plane
 Mark two points on the model on a surface that is close to
perpendicular to the first surface to define a secondary line
 Mark one point on the model on a surface that is close to
perpendicular to both the first and second surfaces to define a zero
point
When six points are selected the first point is highlighted on the model
 Probe the first point on the part. The next point is highlighted on the
model.
 Repeat probing the remaining five points
 Select Fit in the Measure Profile3D window. The six point
alignment is completed and the initial fit is done.
