Maximum Coordinate used in an RPS Iterative Alignment

Recommended Posts

We have 2 cast target points on the leading edge of a blade, defined as line contact. We create secondary alignments for the specific point, translated and rotated to the correct vector defined by the print. We then do a small curve in that section, create a constructed maximum coordinate (in this case Y, while utilizing the secondary alignment), and we use those maximum coordinate points in our RPS Cast alignment. This has been a non-issue for over a year while using Calypso 2019.

We recently upgraded to 2022, and immediately this cast RPS alignment starts having serious repeatability/accuracy issues. Some dimensions referencing this alignment have moved over .01 inches. Remeasuring known good parts, even our master part supplied to us, started failing. 

Something weird that I've noticed: in 2019 when I review the maximum coordinate with measured data, the nominal values stay the same. In 2022, the nominal data changes after the iteration alignment. The values in the RPS alignment per feature do not change or update.

2019:

2022:

If there is no measured data, the nominal maximum coordinate values are correct in 2022.

Does anyone know if something changed in Calypso from 2019 to 2022 regarding maximum coordinates or RPS looped alignments? Should I try forcing the nominals to zero with a formula calculation of zero?

Or does anyone know a better/more repeatable way of getting these cast target points on a leading edge?
