True Position in 3 axis???

Ok, I have read the post regarding this so called argument that my boss and I got into today. He told me that you cannot measure true position in 3 axis, as I told him he was wrong. I know it depends on the way the FCF calls it out, but I tried to explain to him that it is possible to measure TP in 3 axis.
I have seen the formulas, so I know it's possible. I just wish I could get one of you gurus to reply back explaining that it is possible and why. I see the picture but he does not. I do not like to get into pissing matches with upper management, but I have learned a h**ll of alot from you guys, and I know this is possible. So if one of you fine gentleman can back me up on this, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Now I am going to get a cold beer.

I dont see how you can possilby call out a cylinder center point as a 3D TP.

You could do the whole cylinder and that is sort of like 3D because the whole thing is evaluated. But a single point on the axis of a cylinder is not possible in the true sense. You might with the intersection of a plane, but why on earth would you do that, it has nothing to do with the location of the cylinder.
