Hey Kirbster26.....Quick question on how you are exporting your data. I was using print command in the report window and then outputting a .TXT file. But seems recently the .TXT is not able to output the feature control frame information. I have attached a snipet of my .TXT file. Wondering if I just have a formatting issue.

Export your stuff from PC-DMIS as a Text file. This is just an example of things you have to put in the Demon Comment/Report .[balloon number]
positions Require a little more info. You can see on the bottom one balloon number identification DF= Diameter feature, Y= axis <the basic number if you want. Z=axis<same as Y
35=Position
