Whisker Plot Shift

Using version 2022.2 I am all of a sudden seeing my whisker plots shift to one side of the measured features using Geotol, and to the opposite side using legacy dimensioning. Theoretical and target values of the features are correct and snapped to the CAD model, with actual values closely corresponding. I have the same problem whether using constructed feature sets of vector points or auto features. In ten years I have never run into this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
  • Take a look at the trihedron for the plots. Are they identical with regards to axis directions? I was thinking maybe one of them (legacy or GeoTol) are mirrored compared to the other.
  • Click in feature that drives graph, hit F9 (edit), do nothing, close dialogue box, now it's fixed (one time). Hexagon gets very offended if you imply this is a bug.
  • Latest versions are buggier because apparently Hexagon management decided to break Wilcox team up some to Europe, some still in NA & some who knows where else. We had 2021 R2 so unworkable we switched to the 2020 R2 version which was better but still no match for 2016 we have at the old B&S One. Hexagon don't even make DEA controllers anymore because when we got new CMM Global the controllers were built by some Italian electrical engineering firm. And the tech support who came to fix issues with the CMM mentioned the communications between that firm & Hexagon are crap at best. QA manager was super mad that the team spent more time with tech support than running it. All the good news for Zeiss & other competitors.
