Profile of surface

hellofriends

Hello guys, I would need a bit of help as I'm trying to measure this profile of surface dimension. I've been using Hexagon Performance 7.10.7 CMM machine for about 5 months, but this is the first project in which I need to measure profile of surface depended on three datum sufaces A/B/C. For datum A, I tried taking the line of surface, than making a plane, but it always shows me that axis on datum A and datum C are parallel or coincident. Datum B is I assume the circle which I scan and than make constructed circle. For the measurement I scan the radius and use that scan to get profile of surface. 

Can you help me on how to take datums A,B,C and is it correct to scan the radius and use it for my dimension.

    Are you doing it like I mentioned in my post? They should not be parallel, but perpendicular. Are you using the face with the Recycle symbol for Datum A? It is showing the side of the part, but the datum triangle is pointing towards the face. Similar to how C is showing the other face of the part, but the Datum triangle is pointing to the "left" or away from the face, to the side of the part.

    Yah I'm lost too... Those should be perpendicular. 
    Post your code.

    I did exactly as you told and with or without alignment it says they are parallel.

    your theo vectors of plane2 are wrong.

    When I do it, it works but my dimension is 0.000

    you should remeasure your datums after your manual alignment and make a new alignment with your dcc datums. you also need to scan the hole contour on several levels not just the one radius.

    So do my datums manualy, make alignments than do them in dcc mode and do new alignments?
