* * * Need Code Help * * *

Rodney Edmonds
I have been away from PC-DMIS for a short while and thought I would jump in here and see if I could get a little help with some code. Here's my situation. I am using the CMM (version 3.7 MR2) to measure plug gauges for parts that will be shipped to the customer. The plug gauges are anywhere from 3 inches to 6 inches in diameter and usually about a 1/2 inch in height. They are mounted on rectangular plates (one Go Plug/one NoGo Plug) on each one. There are approximately 30 of these fixtures. I would like to be able to create just one program that I could use to measure all the fixtures at calibration time. I'm not sure how to set the program up for input of the size plug that I will be measuring. Example Prompt: "What size diameter is the Go Plug?". I would like to be able to plug this information in and have it routed to the Go Plug Diameter portion of the program. The same would apply for the next prompt "What size diameter is the NoGo Plug?". And so on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I usually follow code better than explanation.
Thanks,

    Use the INPUT comment command, this allows you to enter the value, use the value in the feature code. 
    C1         =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,'what size gage?'
P001       =AUTO/CIRCLE,SHOWALLPARAMS = YES,SHOWHITS = NO
            THEO/0,0,0,0.1769992,-0.9539957,-0.2419989,C1.INPUT,0
            ACTL/0,0,0,0.1769992,-0.9539957,-0.2419989,101,0
            TARG/0,0,0,0.1769992,-0.9539957,-0.2419989
            THEO_THICKNESS = 0,RECT,OUT,CIRCULAR,LEAST_SQR,ONERROR = NO,$
            AUTO MOVE = BOTH,DISTANCE = 35,RMEAS = None,None,None,$
            READ POS = NO,FIND HOLE = NO,REMEASURE = NO,$
            NUMHITS = 4,INIT = 0,PERM = 0,SPACER = 3,PITCH = 0,$
            START ANG = 0,END ANG = 180,DEPTH = 0.35,$
            ANGLE VEC = -0.8071466,0,-0.590351


    While you do NOT see it, the value I input for the comment was 101 and you can see it in the actual line of the circle feature.
