Introduction
This article discusses creating a True Position plot in QC-CALC Real-Time 3.3, but the directions are identical to version 4.1. To construct this plot, you will need to know your X, Y, Diameter, and True position (pin or hole) dimensions/characteristics.
Steps
- Choose the View > Configure True Position... menu.
- In the True Position Editor screen:
- Find the first dimension/characteristic that will make up the true position plot in the list on the left.
- Choose the appropriate X, Y, Diameter, TP option from the list.
- Repeat this for all dimensions/characteristics needed to create the True Position plot.

- When all dimensions/characteristics have been assigned the correct option, click the >> button (Add >> in earlier versions of QC-CALC Real-Time). If the Add button is grayed out, click a dimension/characteristic other than one of those selected, and it should enable itself.

- Once the grouping has been added, it will appear on the right side of the screen. Click OK to accept the groups. The new True Position Plot should appear.
