I have a part with two surfaces called out for profile of .002"

When I scan the surfaces, one comes in fine (.0006") and the other comes in at around .058"

I thought the code was fine but I have posted it here and maybe somebody can help me if there is an issue.

Thank you.

Code:

How's the roundness of the -A- circle look? Looking at the section cut, -A- appears to be a circle at a basic height through a wacky toroidal contour?

Also, it's best practice to include some sort of Rotation in your alignment. I like to construct a line in Startup alignment, flip it to the XPLUS axis, and rotate to it. It's basically the axis of the CMM.

Roundness is spot on. -A- is the O.D.

I have never thought to rotate to the machine axis, I'll give it a shot.

Is this normal or did I miss something in the alignment?
