Is anyone here familiar enough with legacy profile to explain the difference between form only and form and location? I think that form and location locks to the origin, but i am not sure how the form only works. I have a customer who wants to use legacy dimensioning and i am not familiar with it.
Form only I describe it as an overlay for a comparator that you can move around the overlay to "fit the form" so all surfaces can fit in between the tolerance band. If you can fit it in then it passes if you can not it fails.
Form and location ---same overlay but you must first locate on the datum then the profile must fall in between the tolerance bands
Your customer that wants you to use legacy dimensioning, you will need to have the alignment to match the feature control frame and the active alignment when you report that profile. Exact measure handles the alignment and fitting based on FCF for you.
