Title: Use drawings to identify Cartesian coordinates.
Course: Precision Machining Technology III (13203-III) > Section: Using Engineering Drawings and Sketches for CNC Machining

Use should include

- establishing part zero to determine work offset
- calculating and editing dimensions to apply to part zero
- establishing x, y, and z positions
- applying geometric and trigonometric functions
- differentiating between absolute and incremental positions.

Teacher Resources:

- Autodesk
- FS Wizard
- NC Viewer (CNC simulation)
- Phillips Machinist, Phillips Corporation
- Vericut

Process/Skill Questions:

- How can stacked dimensioning affect the accuracy of the program?
- What is the difference between absolute and incremental positions?
