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

  • Hey Guys , sorry to keep ask the same question but , I need to Understand , can you please see the picture , in this example the position use spherical TP , TP/S1.0/A/B/C , so in this situation can I Use the "Z" or not


    Spherical True Position dictates you MUST use three axis for calculation of deviation from nominal. So, YES you must use the Z. Now, while I have used this before with sheet metal there are those that know the spec better than I do and they will probably tell you this is illegal because it is a cylindrical feature.

    BTW, PCDMIS will do this directly and there is no need for extra calculations.
