Is the a quick way to report these features using GEOTOL?

dte_cmm

I have a collection of nut plate holes, and the central hole is called out as a pattern of 68, but the rivet holes on either side of the central holes are dimensioned to each individual central hole. Is there a more succinct way to report these without defining 68 new datums and going through the FCF's for each collection of features?

Also- the countersink is proving difficult to measure, as it breaks out onto an irregular contoured surface, and I'm not sure how to get the maximum diameter measurement to report.

    Yikes! You're going to need a vacation after dimensioning this one. Getting 136 of those 0.1305 holes to come into position on a curved surface, consistently is going to be a chore, too. I don't envy you. A more succinct way to dimension them though would be to check one set at each 90° then give a blessing to the other 63, haha. Once your management team finds out it's going to take on hour to get this across the cmm, that's probably what they'll do. In most shops, quality is only important if you can fit your entire inspection into a 30 minute window, and that includes writing the program. Yeah, I'm exaggerating, but only slightly.
