    One Million Datum Targets?

    Oh no, it's one Datum A as the main datum established by 12 datum targets; A1, A2,... A12. He says inspection will clamp down each of the 12 datum targets then measure the part. The part is ABS plasic.

    View settings not responding (Toolkit?)

    I seached the forum before I posted but like always I found my answer five minutes after the post was up. It's all in the default reference sets that are set in the load options. It worked great! http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=104684 Thanks Eramo (Jason)! Craig
