I don't know what this true position on the hole is constraining. Bolt circle diameter or orientation of the hole maybe? Trying to determine if I need to measure the hole as a cylinder. Appreciate the help.
It's essentially the hole pattern to itself.
Probably will have to a manual alignment using two of the bolt holes to offset before going to DCC.
Create a cylinder on Datum A, then level and set the origin on it.
Measure the bolt hole circles and do a 2D best fit rotary alignment. (Terminology may not be correct.)
Then report the position of the bolt hole circles.
MattR: Gonna have to disagree with you. As Quality Control, our primary job is to ensure that the part meets requirements. Manufacturing's job is to ensure that the part is made to requirements. Design's job is to ensure that a functional, manufacturable part is conceived and communicated. This doesn't mean that we won't work with manufacturing and design to ensure a good product. At the end of the day though, all of our jobs is to ensure that the best possible product is produced and delivered to the customer in a timely manner. Final inspection of a part like it was manufactured is asking for trouble. Parts can often easily meet manufacturing's plan but don't fully meet design's requirements. Thats not to say that QC won't help execute manufacturing's plan but ultimately our responsibility is to ensure print requirements are met.
