When do you generate your results?

Do you have a preference where in your program you create you measured results. I find if I wait till the end of the program it takes longer because I have to go back and identify my features.
So once I've named my datums I'll create the results while the ID's are still fresh in my head.

  • Almost all (about 98%) of my programs run this way:

    1. Opening sub programs / scripts
    2. Alignments
    3. Geometry and movement
    4. Construction geometry
    5. Alignments (yes all in one place and recall them everywhere else)
    6. Import/Export data for/from other operations.
    7. Dimensions (legacy only of course)
    8. Closing sub programs / scripts

    I don't worry about naming geometry features, though, I do have a script to renumber them all from small to large but only to calm my OCD. My dimensions are numbered to a ballooned drawing and when I troubleshoot parts I search up these and jump to the features and/or ctrl mouse click them on the graphics screen. My parts are small to medium sized. It takes me waaaaay tooo long to come up with meaningful names and/or keeping them short and sweet. I think if I did more model based stuff (where there are zero to no hard call outs) I would definitely name everything.
