Inspect 2025: Line Profile Vector Directions Are Inverted?

[[Ri...]]

I'm running into an issue where all of my Line Profile deviations are inverted compared to Surface Profile and Surface Comparison deviations. 

Is there a quick/easy fix for this?

Can you be more specific?

I did not find how to invert nominal vectors ( except for possible python script ) other than recreating that element.

But i am not sure if you have a section, curve or inspection section.

The root cause might be due to a datum system showing beeing oriented in the opposite direction.

Surface Comparison to RPS:

 

Surface Profile to RPS:

 

Line Profile to RPS:

 

 

It's not always consistent either. Very strange behaviour. I've also seen it show "positive" deviation when the deviation is in both directions as well.

I am curious why there is diameter sign for line profile.

What i saw using flag with deviation number was always positive.

I have also problems with visualizastion of your line curve. Can you post nominal curve with vectors?

 Out of currisoty, how is the line profile created? Are you recalling the feature points from the profile surface or another feature? Or are you scanning that line profile? If you are using recall, try flipping the curve from inside to outside.

This is Zeiss Inspect - not Calypso - so this function is not available here in this way.
