Using a wire line correctly will ensure a very accurate straight line is achieved . Accuracy of + - 1 mm over any distance can be achieved using the following method. Using one incorrectly can also easily be done.! The steps shown can be applied to all types of alignment , when you have a vertical face on components that require aligning. false en Alignment_guide_using_wire_line_Screenshot_2023-03-14_084618.png none Firstly, identify the two datums that are required to set the wire line to. A wire line should be pulled tight and then anchored to give a wire line from the first and last component 1 Add additional components that require aligning to datum components. <div class="icon-instructions caution-icon"> <div class="icon-instructions-icon"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></div> <div class="icon-instructions-text">...It is vital that these do not touch the wire line in any place</div> </div> Once the alignment has been completed, all added parts should be double checked on wire line clearance, to ensure all of the above criteria has been achieved Move non datum components forwards towards the wire line. It is imperative that none of these components contact the wire line, as this will give a false reading. The goal is to get the components being added as close to the wire line as possible, without actually physically touching the wire line this is an example of incorrect use and the exaggerated affect of touching the wire line This is an example of incorrect use and the exaggerated affect of touching the wire line Identify Datum component and set line Add components Adjust components Quality check Example of incorrect setting 2023-03-14T10:45:55Z 2460017.9485532 Alignment guide using wire line 0 false false 0 0 0 1 plainlist 3 [[:Dokit:DocOptions]] [[DokitEPIEnable::yes]] Alignment guide using wire line# QUERYee7a61aae48f1c3f91d8e4d7736360be
