Ability to choose report method from Cartesian to radial or spherical on geometrical results.
We have many drawings that have surface profiles, the dimensions may apply to flat, angles, curved, radial and spherical surfaces which have BASIC controls that when reported, do not match the drawing at all, this is due to the fact that when choosing to report a surface profile, the data shown is in Cartesian and no choice for radial or spherical to report. When programming to create a new coordinate that sets the origin to a location and be able to measure radial points or surfaces, the output data needs to have the relationship to match the drawing call out, this helps with making decision on mold making, machining and or part configuration. Customers also have no correlation of results to drawing, X,Y,Z does not corollate if features are radial or spherical when looking at the surface profile point data to evaluate.

Other Inspection Software's allow for this option (like MCOSMOS), The report would then produce the point data in the format required / chosen, If a surface profile in the drawing is to a radial surface that contains center locations, The programmer would use the Basic dimensions to create a new coordinate and measure the radial surface so that the points data shown and the min / max would be reported to match the drawing radial CALL OUT and meet the ASME for controls.
