Composite true positions in Legacy

I'm being required to use Legacy GDT reporting for a program.
I haven't used legacy before and need help on how to measure/report these composite true positions using it.

Datum A is a surface
Datum B is a bore
Datum C is a bore
I have my alignment set up to ABC.

In TP#1 how do I ignore C to get the AB alignment?
and how do I get just B for the composite?

In TP#2 How do I get the composite with no datums?

Can Legacy do MMC bonus or MMB datum shifts?


TP #1:

{"data-align":"none","data-size":"medium","data-tempid":"temp_22355_1648740249085_596"}
TP #2:

  {"data-align":"none","data-size":"medium","data-tempid":"temp_22356_1648740215078_727"}    ​​

  • It sounds like you are into this issue so I may just post what I've been working on here for you to see. I am not in tmrw so I'll do it wed. Honestly, a lot of what you all are doing is over my head, I can't understand what you all are saying bc I am just a one man show at this student lab and I have well passed my instructor. I worked only in summary mode bc that is what I was taught but spent time with me(kudos!) and I learned I needed to learn how to deal with command mode. I actually didn't know what legacy mode was until Dan sent me a program where he used a non-composite profile of a surface on a part in legacy so I got to see how he aligned the part prior to doing this, whereby I was just dropping down menu datum items. The problem arose when I did the next part with composite, I only aligned to A|B and knew my results would be bad before I got them b/c you gotta reference the scn1 profile somehow beforehand. I may be spinning my wheels learning legacy, but b/c Dan used it I wanted to learn it for the composite. I'll see if I can get something up on Wed.
