Multi-dimensional coordinate translation, rotation, and scaling for a machine control system provides translation, rotation, and scaling of coordinates such as for alignment, inch and metric, scaling, and expanded and contracted dimensions. A method of reducing accumulated errors uses absolute coordinate dimensions. Axis alignment provides for computationally aligning misaligned parts. Inch and metric scaling provides for dimensioning in either set of units. Expanded and contracted dimensions permits scaling to nominal dimensions, then expanding or contracting dimensions for special purposes such as compensation for thermal expansion and mating parts. |
