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

  • I have had numerous prints where features have a TP callout to all three
    axis and I am given Basics to all three axis. When that is the case I call
    the TP to all three axis. This calculation makes a spherical Tolerance zone.
    Even if the S is not in the Feature Control Frame using the third axis makes
    it spherical.

    My biggest pet peeve is a TP callout to a surface. I say that a TP to a surface is a 'Profile'.
