I haven't had to dimension total runout yet programming. I am fairly new with programming and was looking for some advice on the best way to dimension these Total Runout callouts.
If you want to use legacy, select the runout feature first, and the datum second.
I prefer to use a auto cylinder spiral scan for the feature with a reasonably tight pitch to mimic a hard gage if possible.
Concentric circle scan for the Datum.
It will depend on how square the cylinder is to the plane. When you origin to the cylinder it will use the axis average. By creating a pierce point to use as the origin, it makes the alignment more repeatable and more closely simulates the way the datum reference frame would work.
