legacy profile

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.

  • my final question then is if i have my alignment to A B and C datums, would form only work if my profile is called back to my B and C? my A datum is my Z level and B and C are x rotation and x,y location. I want share a print, but i cant due to security reasons. i could probably post the program though. I dimensioned the profile the way it was called with B and C on the print with exactmeasure and then tried dimensioning the same thing using form only, but non of the best fit options seemed to match my exactmeasure readings.
  • Dimensioning in exact measure no datum selected is form only with a datum selected is form and location

    Legacy dimensioning form only you can only select a single tolerance (plus) value in the minus will give an error message


    Vinnie is correct on datum in callout on this drawing, FCF on drawing drives choice of form only or form and location
