Definition Time!!!
The result of a True Position Characteristic is the diameter of a circle, centered on the basic dimensions from the specified datums, point. that contains the actual center

Mathematically Speaking…. True Position =
∆X2
+
∆Y2
*2
∆X
= Difference from Basic X value from Actual Actual X value ∆Y
= Difference from Basic Y value from Actual Y value
