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.

  • For me it's more efficient to measure features and then dimension. I measure all the features I can with a particular probe rotation. Rotate the probe to a new orientation and then repeat. With dimensions at the end, I can more easily order my results in a semi-logical fashion. If I have to edit the program I don't have to be concerned about messing up the balloon numbering. I can click on the feature name in the report and jump to where it's measured easily enough and so I don't lose any time searching for the feature. But that the way my brain makes sense out of all this...
