Reporting Profile

I've been reporting Profile by creating a feature set and using the Max/Min output, but currently had a report rejected by a customer because of that. they don't want the max/min.

another thing they want me to show for the Profile is each individual point I take, including the nominal location of each point and its actual location.

I hope I explained myself well enough for you guys to understand that.

So I ask , How do you guys report PROFILE?

  • What I'd do:
    1) Origin my program to the datum scheme that is called out in the feature control frame for my profile callout
    2) Set up a linear open scan. Get it right where I want it, set all of my parameters and everything...but instead of clicking "create" you click the box that says "to points". This will take all of the hit points that would have made your scan and will create them in your program as auto vector points. Depending on how you set up your scan, you could have dozens if not hundreds or even thousands of points being created.
    3) Construct a feature set out of those points and report the profile. Be mindful of how your customer wants this reported. They may require Y14.5M or another spec...if you're unclear how to handle these differences check back with us.
    4) Report the T value of each of those points.
