Help with OLE Automation

Now that I have information in a way that imports and exports the information correctly, I have been tasked with creating an OLE to automatically import the data into the SPC software. I have one that sort of works (as in opens the program, logs in, opens the right collection plan, etc) and I can get put in static information, but I am unsure how to call the information out of PC DMIS to have it be placed in the spots we need in the SPC software being used.

Has anyone else done this? Can anyone explain to me how find the variable and the measurement output in PC DMIS? I am using version 4.2 if that helps any.

Thanks so much.

  • Is the actual dimension named "CIRC2 DIA" in the partprogram?
    ...or are you trying to grab the diameter from a feature (a measured circle)?

    What you can do, is export the partprogram to a BASIC file, preferrably the exact program you are working with.
    That way, you will get the syntax and other valuable stuff directly in the BASIC flavour.

    (sorry for not suggesting this earlier, it just hit me)
