The parts I'm inspecting have indents from chuck jaws or from poor handling. Also weld splatter on the machined surfaces. When I probe on a defect it throws the feature out of whack. Right now I am just clicking on every feature in the command window to see its error in the the status window. Is there a way to report it? Thanks guys
If i were checking this part, and I couldnt improve it, then i would actively avoid all the surface imperfections, report all dimensions as best i could, then report the surface imperfections separately.

when you say report the surface imperfections separately - do you mean writing out observations or measuring the imperfections with the cmm? maybe something like dents on Datum B with depth of .004 and weld splatter on flange face?
i mean take pictures of the areas in question. measure size of imperfections with calipers, and report them as deviation from overall surface finish requirement.
if the tolerance of the diameter is tight, like say less than +/-.010 then i might take a scan and report roundness. but given the build quality of this thing i'm not sure i'd spend too much time on this.
