true position problems!!

hello there! so i've been having problems fixing this true position dimension. say the part location, on x and y are 1.0 x 1.0 true position of .005. but if my nominal says its 1.005 x 1.007 and i can't change that! because my actual readings are of 1.001 x 1.003. so because i cannot change my nominals, the report states its out of print. I already went and changed the nominals manually on the program. also on the advanced tap on true position, checked and unchecked "update feature nominal" but nothing seems to change those numbers. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
  • Are you using CAD? CAD might be bad. It's not likely but it could happen. Are the nominals in the feature or in the dimension?
    Can you post some code?

    thanks for replyingSlight smile well it does seem that the cad is incorrect. but i started from scratch, not using the cad and it still does the same. and yes the code does go through.

    What are the nominals in the feature compared to nominals in the dimension?
    Posting code on the forum would help us figure out whats going on in your program.

    OKAY, SO IT SEEMS THAT IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF CLICKING THE TAB BUTTON AND IT CHANGES IT:/. BUT THAT'S ON A SINGLE FEATURE, IF I GROUP THEM TOGETHER IT STILL DOESN'T CHANGE IT NO MATTER WHAT I DO.
    HERE'S THE CODE:
    (THIS ONE IS INDIVIDUALLY)
    FCFLOC1 =POSITION : CIR6
    FEATCTRLFRAME/SHOWNOMS=NO,SHOWPARAMS=YES,SHOWEXPANDED=YES
    CADGRAPH=OFF,REPORTGRAPH=OFF,TEXT=OFF,MULT=10.00,ARROWDENSITY=100,OUTPUT=BOTH,UNITS=IN
    COMPOSITE=NO,FIT TO DATUMS=YES,DEV PERPEN CENTERLINE=ON,OUTPUT ALIGNMENT=Datum Reference Frame
    CUSTOMIZED DRF=NO
    STANDARDTYPE=ASME_Y14_5
    SIZE TOLERANCES/1,DIAMETER,0.252,0.001,0.001
    PRIMARY DIMENSION/POSITION,DIAMETER,0.005,MMC,C,A,<MC>,<dat>
    SECONDARY DIMENSION/<Dim>,<tol>,<MC>,<dat>,<dat>,<dat>
    NOTE/FCFLOC1
    FEATURES/CIR6,,
    (AS A GROUP, IT SHOWS IT WAY OUT)
    FCFLOC5 =POSITION : CIR6,CIR7,CIR8,...
    FEATCTRLFRAME/SHOWNOMS=NO,SHOWPARAMS=YES,SHOWEXPANDED=YES
    CADGRAPH=OFF,REPORTGRAPH=OFF,TEXT=OFF,MULT=10.00,ARROWDENSITY=100,OUTPUT=BOTH,UNITS=IN
    COMPOSITE=NO,FIT TO DATUMS=YES,DEV PERPEN CENTERLINE=ON,OUTPUT ALIGNMENT=Current Alignment
    CUSTOMIZED DRF=NO
    STANDARDTYPE=ASME_Y14_5
    SIZE TOLERANCES/4,DIAMETER,0.252,0.001,0.001

    SECONDARY DIMENSION/<Dim>,<tol>,<MC>,C,A,<MC>,<dat>
    NOTE/FCFLOC5
    FEATURES/CIR6,CIR7,CIR8,CIR9,,
  • FCFLOC1 =POSITION : CIR6

    CADGRAPH=OFF,REPORTGRAPH=OFF,TEXT=OFF,MULT=10.00,A RROWDENSITY=100,OUTPUT=BOTH,UNITS=IN
    COMPOSITE=NO,FIT TO DATUMS= YES ,DEV PERPEN CENTERLINE=ON,OUTPUT ALIGNMENT= Datum Reference Frame


    FIT TO DATUMS= YES
    Should be NO unless the Datums also have modifiers. If the Position tolerance specifies MMC or LMC, then that only applies to the feature, not the datums.

    OUTPUT ALIGNMENT= Datum Reference Frame
    Should perhaps be Current Alignment

    oh okay thank you, that kind of helped. still having problems with the cylinders, but i could just output them as single circles. thank you sir, much appreciated!Slight smile
