Base Alignment Trick?

[[To...]]

My base alignment is a plane on top for Spatial and Z Origin, a circle on top for X & Y Origin and a plane on the right side for planar.

We believe the tool that is cutting the top plane is .0052" too deep and affecting some of our compound angle hole measurements.

Can anyone explain how to set up the base alignment to make it appear that the top plane is .0052" higher without changing the nominal info of the other features?

TIA

Possible method, but I don't have time to test.

Copy Base Alignment Plane.

In Copy, change Z to -0.0052.

In Original Plane, use formula to reference copy for X, Y, Z, A1 and A2.  Make Z formula ref copy +0.0052.

Make Original a theoretical feature.

  Sorry, but you lost me with "In Original Plane, use formula to reference copy for X, Y, Z, A1 and A2.  Make Z formula ref copy +0.0052." 

I don't get the "reference copy" term.

In the original plane, use a formula for Z  getActual(CopyPlane.Z)+0.0052

Have you thought about using a constructed plane with offset to set your Z origin?

Can't you just Offset your Base Alignment, in "Special"?

 I did try that and when I exited the BA, it prompted me to check my clearance data (as usual), then prompted to update nominals, to which I said NO.  Based on what I did look at, it seemed to do what I wanted. Unfortunately, time ran out on the clock and I will have to re-visit this in the morning.

 I did try using and plane with offset but gave up too early because I had another issue.  I am going to try it again in the morning.
