I am using a saw blade to cut runners off aluminum castings, i need to adj. my end cut position. i need to align the two targets so the blade will track straight in the cut. i could rotate the start position then copy orientation and position then re offset the end cut position. i was hoping for something quicker and easier.

thank you  
JD

Hello,

Why don’t you use directly Offs function? So only one taught point is necessary.

Thank you for the reply, I hadn’t thought of that. I’m new to programing, and I’m learning as I go.
