I noticed that when you measure a feature with a specific alignment and ask for the location and then the TP, the results are different; for example, I ask for the location of a cylinder is X, the result is 9.945, If I ask for the TP the X is 9.949. Can anyone explain this?
If you're using XACT Measure and selecting datums, the software builds an internal alignment to those datums and reports your GD&T against that (regardless of whatever actual program alignment you're in).
So based off of your current program origin...that cyl might be at 9.945 but when evaluated against part datums the alignment is different thus yielding a different answer.
