Overriding Hole Sizes in Reports

Our engineering staff prefers that I use gage pins to measure hole sizes instead of the result calculated by the CMM measurement. This is not a problem for a diameter size callout - I simply use a Keyed In Dimension and type in the result measured with a gage pin at that point in the report. The problem is when I have to report the True Position for the hole because then the measured hole diameter for the keyed in dimension doesn't match the measured hole diameter in the true position dimension - which uses the diameter calculated by the machine measurement - not the pin.

Is there any way to override the measured hole diameter in the True Position calculation so that it will use the number that I've inputted through a Keyed in Dimension?

This is how it would look in the report -



MEASUREMENT POINTS - MP06
==========================
DIM MP06= KEYED IN DIMENSION
AX NOMINAL MEAS +TOL -TOL DEV OUTTOL
D 5.500 5.530 0.100 0.100 0.030 0.000 -----#---


MEASUREMENT POINTS - MP07
==========================
DIM MP07= TRUE POSITION OF CIRCLE MP_6 UNITS=MM
AX NOMINAL MEAS +TOL -TOL BONUS DEV DEVANG OUTTOL
X 2940.800 2940.908 0.108
Z 1290.570 1290.465 -0.105

  • Part of the problem is that I'm using a Faro arm - so it's hard to get consistent measurements like you would with a DCC machine that's driving along a vector. The generic feature with the variable substitution in the MEAS field works just fine.

    Thanks guys - if this even possible in the first place, I knew this forum was the only place I would find out about it!


    Ah, in other words, they want you to do a job with the wrong tool. Figures.
