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

  • Just my little input (DMIS help file)...

    By default, the FCF True Position dialog box has the Deviation Perpendicular to Centerline functionality enabled in the background, as this is consistent with the ASME Y14.5 standard.

    While a Deviation Perpendicular to Centerline check box was not added to the FCF True Position dialog box (as it is the legacy dimension's True Position dialog box), you can still turn off this option by having your FCF True Position specify a spherical zone (rather than a cylindrical or planar zone). In this case the deviation is calculated from the X, Y, Z axes.

    Note: The only time you can select a spherical zone is when applying FCF True Position to a Point or a Sphere.
