"Default" Math Vs "Legacy"?

What are we calling the new default Geo-Tol math? "New Math"? "Default Math"?
I remember this gun fight a loooong time ago, it ended up bad for Hexagon and us also.
what I mean is:
The "New Math" best fits a little too aggressive for me compared to "Legacy". Last time I had reports coming out with perfect true position our customer Lockheed Martin mopped the floor with Pc-Dmis and started the whole ISO Best-Fit shootout, disallowing us to use Pc-Dmis best fit algorithms. The "New Math" best fits also. Here is a comparison:



What do you think?
and can we come up with a disparaging term like "New Math" other than "Geo-Tol"? or "Geo out-of Tol"?

  • Dear Furry Members,

    I just cant buy in. I've dipped my toe in the Default Math water, and I'm gonna sit this one out. I just don't see enough correlation when mechanically I can't validate its output. Just instinctively at a gut level, I don't feel confident at all passing any information gained by these new evaluations to the machine shop. I have tried, and in the end I felt I looked foolish and incompetent. The new information derived produced no benefit to manufacturing, and just muddied up unclear directions even more. I don't get paid to guess, and I really feel this is another best guess by hexagon.
    Sorry Neil, I don't mean to make this personal, but you are the product owner, and I know you will.
    I'm NOT diving in the "Default Math" pool, I'll be here in the cabana , enjoying some drink with an umbrella or something.

    CHeers.
  • i recently discovered that if you choose constrained L2 on two plane datums and callout parrellism in legacy they return absolute 0. why is that?
