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.

    I used to program this way until I started here..... All of the legacy programs here were run with measurements first then tolerance at the end and I believe it does take longer but I decided to follow the previous programmer's method for this as the only thing that matters from the shop people is clean and readable reports.
