Simple Question: Should I re-measure alignment features to Report them?

I am measuring a datum cylinder for my alignment. First doing a manual alignment then dcc alignment both using the cylinder. To report the diameter of the cylinder is it acceptable to use the dcc measurement of it that was used for the dcc alignment? I guess this is more of a good practice type of question. Thanks in advance.

  • yes, you can report the diameter of a DCC measured feature without having to measure it a 3rd time.


    You are quick. So the fact that the dcc alignment takes place after the dcc measured cylinder and there is only a manual alignment prior to it wont hurt? I'm thinking that the measurement will somehow be controlled by the manual alignment which took place before it and may not be as precise as if it was measured after the dcc alignment and controlled by the dcc alignment. I honestly don't know how the alignments effect a measured cylinder though so I may just be autistic here.
