Not sure what "B" is pointing too, but "C" is pointing to that cylinder? If that's the case then "C" would be controlling X and Y, so if that's the case in Xact you need to make sure that's what its doing and B would just be controlling rotation? A should be a Plane and Level, simple enough. If you are using Xact click on Customize and see what it's doing.

Datum B is the ID of a post. I'm asking this because I had a problem with basics on the drawing being out. Who ever made the 2D drawing picked the wrong location and everything was out by over 2mm. A few other programmers here where I work stated it was out because I had the tetrahedron in the wrong location. After further review, discussions and some research, I believe that aligning to ABC (dia. in X, plane in Y, dia. in Z) was correct. What William Johnson has stated is what I've been doing for years. A few others here where I work, I believe have been doing it incorrectly. My discussions here at work will continue. Thanks!!
I always use legacy when dimensioning. If you are aligned per your print to ABC, leaving the origin where it is, you do the FCF's, (you are aligned to ABC). The boxed dimensions do not need to be recorded unless requested. If requested, you will move the origin to the 0-0 feature and make sure the origin is in line with the 0-0, you should then dimension the features and your nominal in the proper axis should be the boxed dimension, you can also distance the feature also. Just make sure the origin is squared to the 0-0, you might have to rotate it. Rarely do I have a problem reporting 0-0 dimensions this way.
So when I create and measure an auto circle, then dim it out as Location Dimension, and Position Dimension, my location dims look good, but the position...
I searched the forum already but could not find something similar. I use v4.2, I have a part with -A- as a plane, -B- as a cyl, and -C- as a circle. For...
At least, I think it is. I've never used it, not familiar at all with it. I used to use CMM Manager in a prior job though, and in that software, you basically...
