Question

What are the circumstance where one would want to use Absolute accuracy?


Is it so that you can set all parts to be equal to one accuracy by changing one part?


Why is it any easier than manually changing all the parts to be the same number?

Thanks Praveen for the below suggestion worked perfectly!


1) Changethe accuracy to the desired value in relative.


2) Then change it to absolute accuracy. while changing to absolute, we do not type in the values.( the value is shown in <...>).we just click the green tick mark allowing Proe to take the default value shown in <..>.

In Reply to Michael Jenkins:



I think I have been conviced about Absolute Accuracy's benefits.


I set my config.pro option enable_absolute_accuracy to yes.


When I input .0001 I get:


Enter absolute part accuracy or <esc> to return to Accuracy menu [2.0555e-04 inch]: .0001
Range is 0.0003 to 0.0205. Please re-enter: 0.0003


Another user is gettingthe range 0.0073 to 0.7217 only?
