Contour Cutting 3-4
2. XY-Alignment: counterbalances the “rotated design” and “skewed design”
problems. For this method, the origin, one point along the x-axis and one point along
the y-axis must be specified. This method rotates and skews the drawing. It does
not need any distance parameters. This method is the most precise method without
using any distance parameters.
3. XY-Adjustment: counterbalances the “rotated design”, “skewed design” and
“Incorrectly scaled design” problems. For this method, the origin, one defined point
along the x-axis and one defined point along the y-axis must be specified. This
method rotates, skews and scales the drawing. It requires two parameters
(x_distance and y_distance). These distances define the position of the two points
along the axes. This is the most accurate manual alignment method.
