I have a part with a unilateral profile of a surface tolerance. The CAD graphic is showing that the part is out of tolerance externally. Mechanical measurements confirm that the part has more material than nominal. The geometric tolerance report label is showing the part out of tolerance
internally. Is there a reason for this discrepancy, or am I not reading the report properly?
Hi
JacobCheverie, I took a look at your routine and found the problem. The CAD vectors for the surfaces relating to your profiles were inverted. Because, by default, the geometric tolerance command turns on iterate and re-pierce when reporting profile, your deviations appeared inverted (because it was finding the incorrect, nominal CAD vector). If you fix the CAD vectors and then toggle iterate & re-pierce off and back on again, it will correct the error.
