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

  • Please show me a print with 3d TP or spherical TP. To my knowledge ( I could be wrong) I have never in my 25 years in this trade seen a callout specifically identifying such an animal.

    Your interpretation may be a spherical tp. In referencing the ANSI 14.5 standard of GD & T, I can find no such animal...I am not trying to prove anyone wrong here, just I have never seen an example. Maybe I will learn something new, maybe you will....


    Page 42, paragraph 3.3.7:

    3.3.7 Diameter and Radius Symbols. The
    symbols used to indicate diameter, spherical diame-
    ter, radius, spherical radius, and controlled radius are
    shown in Fig. 3-8. These symbols precede the value
    of a dimension or tolerance given as a diameter or
    radius, as applicable. The symbol and the value are
    not separated by a space.
