rikracer I hear ya! I just dont trust demon to do math for me...AND...the majority of my customers submit mathematically incorrect datum structures so if I tried to use GEO TOL, it would spit out gibberish numbers at me. I usually have to email customer and tell them "hey guys I know you tried to make a nice blueprint with your crayons over there but heres how we propose it should be measured so it fits your design intent that we think you dreaming about" and they're happy to follow along
I only have it slightly better than you, I can, and do, force my design "engineers" to comply, even though they didn't have to before I got here. I don't care if it is a 20 year old print, They either make the corrections to the GDAT or they get no real info. It is amazing to me how companies will go on and on for decades doing things incorrectly, and then tell me "that's the way we have always done it" or "they use to pass all the time" I am too old and cranky to put up with that S, so, being the only CMM programmer, leaves me in a decent position to get things altered and corrected
