Why am I getting no True Position value?

So my drawing has these position callouts:


but my report shows these results:




Why is it always 0? There are several TP like these in my drawing and all show the same results, 0.
Please help!!!

  • The person who made the drawing didn’t consider that you’ll need a fully qualified datum system, if you have a tolerance zone that's clocked in a certain direction. In this case, the two position callouts have tolerance zones that are not cylindrical, but rather defined by two parallel planes. With just A and B, PC-DMIS doesn’t know the orientation of those planes and therefore can’t calculate a result.

    Also, as Singularity stated, it is imperative that you don’t use MMC on the thread, because there is usually no way you could measure the pitch diameter of an M6 thread.
