Used for locations or datum targets. Define single points via coordinates or CAD pick. Reading a PDF is passive
Before diving into PDF resources, one must understand the philosophy of Zeiss CALYPSO. Unlike traditional CMM software that relies on text-based scripting (DMIS), CALYPSO is geometry-based.
A "Top PDF" guide will emphasize this workflow. It teaches you to stop thinking like a coder and start thinking like a GD&T engineer. Used for locations or datum targets
Used inside the program after base alignment (e.g., rotating coordinate system for a pattern of holes).
Alignments in CALYPSO are layered:
