can someone explain this to me?

Code:
DIM LOC1= TRUE POSITION OF CIRCLE CIR7 UNITS=MM ,$GRAPH=OFF TEXT=OFF MULT=10.00 OUTPUT=BOTH FIT TO DATUMS=OFF DEV PERPEN CENTERLINE=OFF DISPLAY=DIAMETERAX NOMINAL +TOL -TOL BONUS MEAS DEV OUTTOLX 145.300 145.899 0.599 Y 0.000 0.017 0.017 DF 57.200 0.500 0.500 57.745 0.545 0.045 ------->TP RFS 0.500 0.000 1.198 0.698 ------->END OF DIMENSION LOC1

TP measurement is exactly twice the X value measurement. It's like that on every one of these parts I check.

OK, lets see, in the instance you posted, that IS how it works out:

2 X SQRT(.599^2+.017^2) = 1.1984

and when rounding to 3 places, 1.198 so it is correct

Idea #2: are the correct axis being displayed? Does this hole have a 0,0,1 (or close) vector?

0.017 in the formula gives less than 0.0005 additional TP deviation, so in the one you are showing, it IS correct.
