I have a little experience with it. I have always had to dial it in to compensate for the manufacturing process. Once dialed in to the process it was accurate. Stylus radius, tooling radius, whether they chamfer it, surface finish, etc. all play a part.

Online, Step points work very well.
Offline, Step points don't help you at all.

If only Calypso had a "Follow" CAD features when you Placed a line on the multi surfaces.
Like FreeForm... Why cant we use FreeForm in a Step point?
