Automatically align two similar objects (B-rep and Mesh) with each other. This function is useful when you import a scan of a manufactured part and compare it with the designed model to look for deviations, or may be used as the first stage in the Warpage Compensation process. The automatic alignment allows to easily match the scanned model to the original model.
For example, to compensate an object for warpage against a mesh object which may be a result from either scanned data or an FEA analysis, the first stage in the warpage compensation process is to align the mesh object to the B-rep object.
Pick the object to be aligned and the reference (target) object (or faces/facets from these objects).
Align the first object with the second object.
