TP bonus tolerance

[John Kingston]

For various reasons, I can't / don't want to use MMC in my TP dimension. How do I pull the TP measurement from the DIM into a variable.

Tried both of the following and it doesn't work.

ASSIGN/V4 = D13.TP
ASSIGN/V4 = D13.TP.M

[Matthew D. Hoedeman]

Can't you just set it to RFS in the TP dimensino?

[John Kingston]

That is what I have. Now I want to add bonus to my TP.
I'm using a midline to create the center of 2 lines. I need TP on that, and they give me MMC on the distance between the 2 lines.

ASSIGN/V4 = D13.TP.BTOL

or

ASSIGN/V4 = D13.D.BTOL

Both of those will get your bonus.

I'd do what Matt said but I'm not sure exactly what you are up to.

[John Kingston]

Maybe this will help.

V3 is the bonus due to MMC on the features.

END OF DIMENSION D13
ASSIGN/V1 = ABS(D19.M.MEAS-.280)
ASSIGN/V2 = ABS(6.810-D9.D.MEAS)
ASSIGN/V3 = V1+V2
ASSIGN/V4 = I want my TP value here

[craiger_ny]

ASSIGN/V4 = D13.TP.DEV

Will get you your actual true position. Best way to learn your extensions is to F9 your assignment line and use the "assign from" on the dialog. There you will be given a series of drop downs that have appropriate extensions available.

Thanks Craig and Matt. I feel like a buffoon. I always forget about the hotkeys. Lazy, or it could be it is an excuse to get on the site.

Beers to you!
