CMM-Manager - how to use Report Profile Operation

Report Profile

The following tutorial describes the procedure for reporting profile of surface using the Report Profile Operation. You'll see two examples... One with Profile to [A|B|C] and another with Profile only to [A]


From the Report Profile Operation, you can now choose Current Ref Frame or New Ref Frame in a familiar fashion according to the Feature Control Frame specified on the technical drawing. If you are already familiar with CMM-Manager Cloud-to-CAD or Cloud-to-Curve Operation(s), then you will notice this new Profile evaluation for partially constrained Datum Reference Frames is much easier to use that the legacy Best-Fit / Datum Lock method.


Notice the Profile Deviation is considerably smaller when referencing only Datum [A] compared to that of referencing Datums [A|B|C]
