datum shift

What is the "datum Shift" that shows up on the CMM report?
Can we get the report to NOT show these figures?
What are these figures?

  • The ASME Y14.5 standard shows that lower segments of a composite FCF are not, by default, evaluated simultaneously. Do you have a concrete example in which the math that PC-DMIS is performing is incorrect?

    As far as the removal of the datum shift label, there is a post on the Idea Center to bring that information back. I believe Hexagon removed it because it was more confusing than helpful in a general sense, but I'm sure they're open to giving us that information again if enough people ask for it.
  • Thanks Jacob. As for the datum shift information, you are correct, it was removed because the majority of users did not want it on their reports. We are currently discussing how to make the datum shift information available again to those who want it. We can not simply "turn it back on" because the geometric tolerance commands are completely different to the older, XactMeasure functionality they replaced, we would need to re-write supporting code from scratch and want to be sure we get the design right.
