bfire85 , learning a lot actually. Engineers here are requiring to report the gd&t callouts. My current way of using the Equators doesn't allow me to use gd&t. One way is to get a CMM that runs Modus, export a .cal file, and upload it to an Equator. You can also retrofit a CMM to run Modus, buy a new CMM that runs modus, send parts and a PO to Renishaw and they'll generate the .cal file for you, or purchase a conversion software like origin.
None of my CMMs run Modus nor have I used Modus on a CMM before, I don't have a spare CMM, probably not going to buy a new CMM just to create Equator masters, boss isn't going to like sending parts to Renishaw nor spending money on a conversion software.
Just talked to my Renishaw guy, He says golden compare sometimes works if the tolerances aren't too tight. I'm looking at cylindricity of 0.001" and diameters of 0.0005".
