Bore pattern

[[Cl...]]

I've never used this option before. Imagine a bowl sitting partly inside a very wide shallow cone (.050") section with a flat
bottom. The cone is Datum -A- and there is a small OD cylinder at the 12:00 (Datum -B-). There are 4 slots equally spaced
around the bowl. There is a position callout for each slot to A & B. It will not pass a type-1 gage rr. The position is currently
being reported out 4 separate times. Can the bore pattern option be used in this scenario. If so, please elaborate on settings.
Thank you in advance.

Is the axis of Datum B parallel or perpendicular to the axis of the cone?

Perpendicular.

So I'm clear on this. If there are three features being evaluated for position back to two datums. A plane (Z) and a diameter (XY) (no tertiary clocking datum) I would uncheck rotation and translation? Allowing both datums to do so?

No, only rotation would be allowed. The diameter (XY) would lock the translation.
