  • position of a welded cylinder

    Good morning, I have recently set up a program for a welded flange that has a position callout from one welded cylinder to a perpendicular plane(A) and a cylinder (B) located on the flange beyond the welded cylinder . it has a position of .025…
  • Boundary Type True Position

    I'm a bit behind...will someone please point me in the right direction to report boundary type true position? I've used profile to report deviation in the past but I want a more better method...:-\
  • Xact Measure problem

    Has anyone had problems with Xact Measure TP dims? I have various parts with MMC on the DF as well as the Datums. As may be expected the DF and the datums all have different size tolerances. When setting up the dimension I tolerance them correctly, but…
  • Updating GD&T nominals

    Good morning all, I have a question in regards to a true position stack up. I am using a CAD model to probe the part but my Z nominal is incorrect. which should be the nominal distance from plane A to the hole so it is throwing my tolerance off…
  • GD&T measurement error

    Good afternoon all, I am trying to set up a quick program to measure a true position call out for a part we are running at the shop. it is a small bushing and the TP call out is the O.D. cylinder to the I.D. cylinder (datum A) and a perpendicular…
  • Error: Compound or pattern datum must be perpendicular to datum plane.

    I recently was tasked with measuring a part bent at an angle with a pattern of holes on both surfaces of the bend. The bottom plane is Datum A, the bottom pattern of holes is Datum B. There is a profile locating all of the edges on the bottom plane to…
