When dimensioning a profile, you can use the Form Only option in the Line Profile dialog box (Insert | Dimension | Profile | Line) to tell PC-DMIS to only determine if a particular profile matches the same form as its nominal. This option ignores whether the location of the profile is outside of acceptable tolerances.
For a Form Only dimension, pay attention to the measured values in the generated dimension.
PC-DMIS 2009 and later support the Form Only Profile of a Line when the considered feature is a constructed curve based on a linear scan. The theoretical points are projected onto the theoretical curve to determine what theoretical points and vectors to use in the profile calculation.
