Newby question. When I was using quick check feature not to long ago, checking the height of 2 plains, and then a couple of weeks later I went and used quick check on the legnth of a part and the dimension came back .236 larger than what it should have been( double checked the dimension with our shop certified caliper).
I have had more than one occasion where the dimension I have checked was larger by about or exactly the radius of my probe. I'm not sure how large of a probe you are using, or if you are working off of CAD, but it sounds like a vector issue of the points you have taken, possible on both planes. 0.236" is just about 6mm. Double check the vectors and see how it turns out. Just the other day I found a dimension to a point I was checking to be off by 0.118. Upon further review my vector was pointed 0,0,1 rather than 0,-1,0. I regenerated my hits with the new vector, executed the feature again, and the dimension came in within 0.002". Worth a shot, and a good thing to double check before you report a dimension out of tolerance.
