The Local size list on the Feature Control Frame tab in the XactMeasure GD&T dialog box (Insert | Dimension | <dimension>) defines the type of local size options to use. This list appears only if you meet the following conditions:
You select an Auto Cylinder feature.
You select the Position symbol for your Feature Control Frame (FCF).
From the from the GD&T standard list, you choose ISO 1101.
The Local size list contains these options:
NONE - No local size is reported.
LOCAL: MAX & MIN - This reports the largest (MAX) and smallest (MIN) local sizes from all the levels measured along the axis of the Auto Cylinder.
