Profile callout Plane to Plane

[[Za...]]

Hello all,

I'm programming a part in offline mode and I usually run through a simulation run just to make sure things run smoothly before I attempt to run it on the CMM. I'm having an issue with a profile callout that's from a plane that consists of 3 spot faces that are coplanar to a plane on the other side of the part that's parallel and made up of 3 target scans on a cast surface.

Here is the print:
Here's what's happening:

Can somebody point me in the right direction as far as what I'm doing incorrectly?

Thanks,

Zach

I would just slap in DatumA into your secondary and tertiary datums.

Surface profiles don't like incomplete DRFs for some reason. If I recall from other posts I've seen here, it either needs to be completely empty or completely full.
