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.

  • dims with features for 2 reasons.

    (1) If you put all the dims at the end of the program, it actually takes longer to run the program, if the dims are with the feature, they calculate/generate as the machine is moving to the next feature.

    (2) SOMETIMES, if you have to edit the program for whatever reason, and need to re-order the features, SOMETIMES the dimensions get blown away, but if the dim is with the feature, you move both at once, no problem.

    Depending on versions of PC-DMIS, I use Summary mode drag and drop to move the features or dimensions. Only outside of Groups. I use a script with a short cut key that will move a comment ( ToBookmark ) viewable on the top or bottom of the edit window. While I have my feature selected and hold the left mouse button I then drag and drop to that comment position. I should add this too the Suggested Features.
