Constructed plane from a theoretical point

[[Ch...]]

Hello,

 

For manufacturing reasons, the X1 datum on a part I am trying to measure has been offset by 6.0mm compared to X2 and X3. Because of this, the X plane is tilted when I use points X1-X3 to create a plane.

I have tried to correct this by creating a theoretical point that is offset by 6mm. However, when I go to create the plane by recalling feature points, theoretical points are not able to be selected.

Any tips to solve this? Or a better measurement method?

Have you tried to use an "Offset Plane"?

Offset Plane will shift the entire plane, including points X2 and X3. X2 and X3 are already in their correct locations, so shifting the entire plane by 6mm would put X1 in the correct location, but then X2 and X3 would be in incorrect locations (off by 6mm).

Just offset the plane that needs offset.

There should be stepped plane ( maybe it's named offset ) where you make a plane from 3 points which every point can have different value in plane's vector.

Go to evaluation there should be those values - you can either recall points or measure - i would preffer recalling due to problems occuring in definition and real mesurement.
