Hi everyone,
I have a question for you, an engineer said measurement software should give a single reading if the FCF does not have a Ø in front of the tolerance. When I see a FCF that has no diametrical symbol I report it as a + / - in the two axes. When I see the diametrical symbol, I report it as TP, giving a singular reading. My question is, is there a way to report a single reading for a box dimension callout? I have never heard of a single reading for a box dimension, but maybe there is. I prefer to use legacy dimensioning and I am using pcdmis 2022.1.
TonyYaka using Legacy, you must set your alignment as the DRF requires. Then, you can report the position along a single axis like you have selected in your attached image. You should have the nominal and measured location on the report, along with a measured position (along one axis it should simply be twice the deviation along the single axis).
Just so I understand: In legacy, if your alignment was not the DRF and you select Use Datums/Fit to Datums, that would not give you the results from the DRF? If so, what is the purpose of the Use Datums/Fit to datums for?
