I am revising an old program written sometime before 2012 and it's brought up some questions. First, why would one ever measure a plane and then construct an offset plane with an offset of zero? Second, if one did this, shouldn't dimensions referencing those planes give the same results? that is, the planes should be interchangeable? Instead this is what I'm seeing. I'm currently using version 2022.2 but this is translated from something earlier, probably last saved in 2017R1 in case that could possibly matter. The routine is saved as 2022.2 now though.
Thanks for the thoughts, all.
jigars, constadin and Sora5, the offset plane is used just as I would have used the measured plane if it were me, that is it is dimensioned as if it were. Thanks Sora5 for the tip that it could revert but I don't think that was what happened here. Don't worry too much about that part of it, I would still like to find out the purpose but I'm not going to worry too much about it I guess.
JEFMAN, yes this is my big concern. It seems to actually BE offset by 0 according to the coordinates and vectors (and graphically) but the dimensions say otherwise. I have executed the dimensions and created new identical dimensions and get the same result.
Also I just noticed the word "cartesian" in the offset plane is a different color. Does anyone know why this is? I'm not sure if that's from pasting here or if it is in the actual measurement routine, and I'm just leaving for the day so that mystery will have to wait...
