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.Smiley

  • Gentleman, let's not get worked up over the situation. My original question was can you measure true postion in 3 axis? I spoke to one of the guys today about this drawing and he said it was wrongly dimensioned, ( as I thought it might be). The new FCF reads TP-.004 (DIA.)-To-A-B-C. No problem there. Level on -A- , take position to B and C, which are the only ones now!, in a basic dimension. The -A- dimension is not basic anymore. Simple alignment , measure the feature, and we're off ond rollin.Smiley
    Sorry for all the confusion.
