When do you generate your results?

Michael R
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.

    Yes, actually. If all the dims are at the end of the program (and I've had program with 500 or so dimensions, it sits there, after it has made it's last move, for a 'long' time (computer 'long' not human 'long'). Machine sitting idle. With the dims with the features, the dims pop up on the screen while the machine is moving.
