I am measuring this part right now this is a cylinder about 3 inches tall. The od is dat-b. The top plane is dat-a and dat-c is a slot in the center of the part. The part has 4 counter bore holes along the side of it every 90 degrees. Here is a picture of what the result looks like, and i know its wrong.
Do i need the od dat to be a cylinder or a circle?
Does it matter if its a constructed cyl or an auto cyl?
My dat c is a constructed width, should it be the line instead?
No name calling from me, just trying to understand your reasoning. I like to learn something new every day, so this is something new to me. I think if you do some digging, was it Josh Carpenter(sp?), posted an explanation of datum shifts and the Xact measure position output.
Xact may outperform legacy when it comes to Datums Shift, I don't know. If I write a program for internal parts, I stay clear of datum shift unless I really need it to use up all of my toll. If the part is good without any Datum shift, the part is GOOD. Simplify your life, not complicate is my Motto
