I am new to PCDMIS, but an experienced programmer with GeoMeasure (MTI). GeoMeasure is a DMIS language, but vastly different from PCDMIS. I have programmed (10 years) and even taught programming at a local community college (2 yrs). I was away from CMM's for a couple years until I moved to MA from MI last year and took this job, where I first encountered the Demon.
So now that you all have a little background info on me, here is the problem that searching the forum archives has failed to find a solution to.
I had a fixture fabricated that holds up to 16 parts in a 4X4 configuration. I took an existing program that measures a couple hundred points for flatness and created a nested loop to get my vertical and horizontal offsets. I can execute the program without a problem and everything runs fine except for one minor issue: the report needs to print out with a custom report name for each part before the loop completes.
I found a few threads that address using variables to assign the printpath to and then insert the variable into the print command. What I end up with when running is a prompt to save the file (I am not using the print setup from the "file>printing>edit print window setup" dialog box; all of those options are left unchecked). I think the problem may be network related because when I change the file location to the local C: drive, it works flawlessly.
I have attached the program for reference and I appreciate any and all comments that may be helpful.
Also, I am working a 12:30pm to midnight shift and 7:00am-noon on Saturdays, so outside of those hours I may be a bit unresponsive.
