I have a profile with only a negative tolerance. How is my measured value positive, but the part is checking outtol=0. is the meas on the report an absolute value? I am exporting everything to measurlink and it is having trouble with the negative tolerance but positive meas.
I would recomend 'T' value reporting, even if only for reference of the individual point analysis. I've found 'T' to be the most reliable when looking to understand stock-on / stock-off conditions. 'T' value will ALWAYS show a possitive value for stock on and negative value for stock off. So the tolerancing can be based exactly as the leader line in your print depicts to cover the tolerance of your surface.
You're origin-ed to your part. You then go ahead and put vector points. When you report the "T Value" of those points, the software will tell you the vector deviation from nominal (based off of the model nominal) that the points are reading. So, lets say you have a whole bunch of points on 1 wall. When you dimension those T values of those points and they all read somewhere in the neighborhood of +0.005", then that is telling you that in comparison to the model and based off of your origin, that area is roughly +0.005" stock on.
