comp vs uncomp point

I'm sure the question has been asked but here goes. When I'm measuring a point I am turning the probe comp off. For some reason my upper management (who do not run the equipment) are telling me to NOT shoot them as an uncomp point. Other than me telling them that a comp point is giving me a false reading how do I explain o them this is the proper way?

  • ok, to clarify what we are actually shooting, we are shooting drilled hole patterns on basically a flat surface. Diameter really isn't a factor only a TP pattern to itself. I shoot a plane-Level then I turn comp off measure points and construct a line from those points to stop rotation and use a measured point for my x,y axis. From that alignment I measure the hole pattern using uncomped points. I never seem to have a problem but as the story goes when you get bad numbers its not the part that's wrong it the way we shot it or the equipment. I understand that we can measure these as circles rather than points but like a said we are not looking for diameter. My QE thinks they should be done as single point circles. Thoughts
