Reporting True Position Without Size?

In Xact, the last tab of the dialogue allows you to deselect things you don't want to see, like the diameters.

If you are doing more than one feature in the dialogue, there are multiple lines to uncheck things in on that last tab, one for set and one for each individual feature. You have to go through them all to get everything.

I commonly still get issues with Xact where it does something weird with the datum structure (predominantly when the datums are square to each other), and I create an alignment as shown in the FCF and then output legacy.

I also have a lot of parts where the engineer defined -C- to control rotation, but offset it 12° from the X axis. Xact will report the X and Y locations with a rotation straight to -C- like the FCF says. That information is useless to the guys on the shop floor if they have to adjust something. So, again, Legacy.

You need to learn GD&T for the FCF set up and use Legacy as a tool.

Sometimes Xact is gorgeous and eliminates all customer questions, sometimes Legacy is the right tool. Fill up your tool box!
