Wrong Nominal on a Length of Perpendicular


---
 Share

Recommended Posts

I have four Length of Perpendicular dimensions on my Characteristics list. When I setup my perpendicular under the features tab the nominal isn't exact to match the print, so I input a new nominal under the characteristics tab. When I do that and run a part it keeps the nominal from the features tab and not the characteristics tab. Is there a setting that I am missing somewhere? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, there is a setting. I had no time to switch the language to English, so only a snapshot of my German settings, but you should find it anyway:

Q: Tolerance Mode - Number Scale vs Absolute Value... What does this setting do? Our CMM is set to Number Scale

It determines how tolerances are calculated and displayed when nominals/actuals are negative. With absolute value it behaves like you would expect for most drawings: Nominals are treated as an absolute (signless) value and tolerances are calculated accordingly. With number scale it takes the sign of the nominal into account and calculates the tolerance according to the positive or negative axis direction.

Gotcha'. Good to know. Keeping my settings as-is... too many Plus-Plus tolerances on our prints.

If there is something wrong with the nominal data on any theoretical feature, i.e. recall, construction, etc., it normally means there is something wrong with nominal data in the features being referenced.

Hello
If I change the setting here it only works on Custom Report and not on Pi-Web Report.
Does anyone know where to change the setting so it works for Pi-Web Report as well.
