Iterate and Repierce Problem in GeoTol Profile Dimension

I've come across a problem with a profile dimension on a part with a large amount of deviation on the measured surface.  The measured point is close to a perpendicular surface.  The deviation is so great that the measured point is closer to the perpendicular surface than the measured surface.  With iterate and repierce enabled in the nominals tab of the profile dimension the deviation arrow is normal to the adjacent perpendicular surface and not the measured surface.  With iterate and repierce off the arrow is along the probed vector.

Is this normal behavior that I should have recognized when I first saw it, or is this an error with iterate and repierce?

Correct vector arrow, iterate and repierce disabled                 Incorrect vector arrow, iterate and repierce enabled

  • I have turned it off in all of my profile outputs for this reason. We are Running 2023.1 Version. I do not know if it is a bug or not. but getting these kinds of errors does not help. My question to you is how did it affect your reported results of the profile?? It looks like that you had considerable increase.
