1. A method of projecting a template on a workpiece; comprising the steps of: providing a measurement system for determining a location of a workpiece and a laser projector for projecting a laser template; identifying a feature on the workpiece having geometric significance; determining a physical location of the feature in a three dimensional coordinate system and comparing the physical location of the feature with a theoretical location of the feature on computer model of the workpiece; selecting a template correlated to the feature; optimizing the projection of the template onto the workpiece relative to the feature by correlating alignment of the physical location of the feature with the computer model of the feature; and projecting the template onto the workpiece based upon the optimized projection for directing work to be performed on the workpiece.
