Profile of a Surface

Having problems tolerancing profile of a surface

Using 2009 MR1
Tolerancing with Xactmeasure

See attachment to see callout (dim 5)

I measure two cylinders (one for each Radius R10 & R15)

I get a couple of problems during tolerancing.

1. When I try to apply the modifier to Datum C, the software tells me "encountered an improper argument" (Do I not get bonus on this Datum because of the Bonus of Datum B)

2. When I disregard the MMC on Datum C, I select both cylinders and it forms a feature set, however, i only get two points for my text analysis, and it is reporting the deviation of my Z axis deviation.

Datum A on the CMM is Z+

  • Additionally, the Profile refers to the entire surface, and not just the radiused ends. Scan or create vector points all around, create a Feature Set from the collected points, and Profile the set.


    Very true... I forgot to mention that this outside surface is extruded and thus, if my feature set from the two radii are in specification, so will the sides since they are merged from the two ends. Slight smile
