Polygon question - hex longer than width; datum feature; True Position

wish2bflying
First post; be gentle. …

I've been given this shiny turd. The hex length is greater than the width. I've constructed a width feature across the two hex shapes to use as my Datum B "feature of size", but I'm a little stumped on how to report the TP of the polygon when it doesn't show the size properly. Have I missed some feature where I can tell PC-DMIS that the hexagon shape is longer than it is wide? You can see the points I've taken that show the true shape of the hex shape. I thought there might be a "constructed polygon" option, but I haven't found it yet.

I've searched the forum but didn't find anything like this. Most of the discussion of polygons is of regular shaped ones.

  • The True Position is showing correct. What I meant was how to show the size correctly as part of that Feature Control Frame reporting window. What I resorted to was reporting the length and width as separate dimensions and telling the engineer in charge of PPAP to please ignore the "out of tolerance" reported measurement.

    My main issue is that PC-DMIS, ironically, can't measure a HEXAGON properly. Rolling eyes
