Forum will not allow me to post a reply to the leap frog post so I will make a new post with what I found
I think I found or understand my issue which brings a new question , What I see is it's not the leap frog function but the out put of the data to the report, i.e. specifically the GD&T (exact measure) aspect , when I run the first part I am watching the nominal’s very closely basically because I am entering them in from the print, hence when I leap frog on the first part all works out great, however what I found is when I run the second or third part noting that I really don't / didn't look at the actual nominal’s just ran the part then the report and it would show my part being bad based on the GD&T outputs. So here is what I found that if I go back into the part program and edit the GD&T inputs by clearing the selected elements in the feature control frame dialog box then re-selecting the same features , re run the report all is good, seems odd that one would have to do this? P.S the part tolerance is generous @ position 1.4mm Max material condition to datum A & C, with a composite of .25mm to Datum C, holes are being measured as cylinders, and using 2011 software.
Also is there away to control what is all displayed in the out put of the GD&T to the report i.e. the datum shift and off sets and alike I know this may be useful information however just out putting the Diameter, position and composite position would save lots of paper and explanations
If there are no modifiers on the datums, your best bet is to just build the proper alignment and then use legacy true position. . . Then you can choose which axis/info to display on the report. . . . If however you do have modifiers on the datums then you have no choice but to use Xact measure. . .
