Dimensioning Auto Features

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to dimension an auto feature that reports the individual hits. I'm aware of the software's ability to make constructions based on determined points, but rather I'd like to use the more powerful auto features with more adjustment tools to manipulate the determined points more effectively.

The machinists at my shop prefer to see the individual hits for adjustments on my CAD-only-landscape reports. For example if you simply constructed a circle it takes an average of those points to dimension deviations from the theoretical. The machinist can then look at the report to see if they may have a shift or other issue. Although this is an issue when the runout of the circle is fluctuating and more often when its not a purely vertical or horizontal deviation.

To me it makes sense to report all of the measure points, and the constructed feature also. The auto feature is nice because it can call out a theoretical and actual measurement of a specification on a print, but doesn't always sufficiently communicate to the machinist how that feature actually looks and what adjustments need to be made.

Please share some advice on how you may resolve an issue like this and if its possible to report an auto feature like I described.

Thank you.
