True Position of a Line

Hello,
How do you report a true position of a line?

  • Hello all,
    Measuring true position of a line is irrelevant. True position in simple term is used to only define location positioning for "feature of sizes". Most likely used referenced off of datums.
    If you are trying to measure a position of a line, there are other GD&T that will offer as a great replacement. Sometimes Mechanical Engineers don't know how to apply GD&T to drawings...
    Just gotta correct them.

    Thanks,

  • In order to control the rotation of the slot, either TP on the two radiis, TP on the width or have the slot controlled with profile. If the TP is evaluated to the center of the line (and not the entire length of the line) it is not being controlled it the way it is intended (rotation around it's center point). One-axis TP on the length and another on the width are common ways.
