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.

As far as I know there is no such thing as spherical TP. There is however, such a thing as a spherical cut which can be controled by true position using more than 2 axis. That spherical cut must qualify as a feature of size, a spherical radius does not qualify as a feature of size though.

NOT to disagree, BUT, since B&S makes TP work in spherical mode when reporting 3 axis UNLESS you select PERP to CL, then there MUST be psherical TP, I mean, they wouldn't make THAT kind of a mistake, would they?
