Pattern as Datum

Recommended Posts

In the parts, there are four holes as a datum B and Plane as a Datum A.

In the profile of line characteristics, what to assign as a secondary datum?

I think you'll want to make an additional alignment. If datum A is your base alignment spacial rotation, you should be able to make a "geometry best fit" secondary alignment, recalling the hole pattern, and set it to allow rotation only. Then your profile's datum reference should just use that alignment.

Datum B is a pattern hole, what is the meaning of adding MMB to pattern , shift of the entire pattern?.I can't visualise.

As per my understanding, Profile of surface needs freeform license, which we don't have.
Profile of line includes size, form and location but doesn't include orientation.
Checking profile of line at two different extreme height (Maximum and Minimum) includes orientation as well.

To be honest, you got me there. My best guess is that they are trying to indicate that in this example the size of the holes is closer to the LMC size, thus allowing for more rattle or datum shift.

LMC-size at true position is the closest the holes can get to the LMB without violating the holes' size limits. Generally, the closer the datum holes are to their true position and their LMC size, the more datum shift is available, so I would say "at true position" probably means "at true position".

Yes, if all one had to do in Calypso was select the standard and tell it exactly the size tolerances and FCFs and it would automatically do everything correctly according to the standard, there would probably not be discussions like this on the forum.

It will produce an alignment that gives the best position results for the datum holes. But to my knowledge, this will never allow datum shift to improve the results of a FCF that references that alignment. Zeiss may have added such functionality in recent years, but I would be pleasantly surprised.
