Profile Callout, Pass or Fail?

here is a report I turned in for profile, its profile of a surface no curves just flat.

Call out was profile, tolerance 3mm to datum ABC.

engineering said that a cmm programmer at a different location said my report shows the part failing, I assume because he sees the measure is 2+ and the tolerance is showing plus/minus(1.5)

The measured feature at the top is a created group of points, the rest are the points dimensioned individually.

can I get some feed back on this? did I do it right or do I need to dimension it a different way?

I have seen videos on the new way of reporting profile, largest deviation multiply by 2. but that just adds confusion to me at this point

  • Your screenshot shows the results for legacy profile dimensions which still use the old, 2 value method. When using legacy profile, it is important to remember to turn on MAX and MIN (F10, Dimension tab) and to compare both the MAX and MIN to the + and - tolerance - you should not use the MEAS to assess pass/fail except for a very few special cases (this is explained in the document Fradders posted the link for). If you dimension profile using the Geometric Tolerance command, it reports as per the new, single value method (max deviation x2) and automatically displays the MAX and MIN for reference.
