Help with OLE Automation

kellyh
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.

    If ObjCmd.IsDimension Then
    Set ObjDimCmd = ObjCmd.DimensionCommand

    StrDimUTol = ObjDimCmd.Plus
    StrDimLTol = ObjDimCmd.Minus
    StrDimMeasure = ObjDimCmd.Measured
    End If

    If I run this like I have it above, then I don't get an error of an unrecognized DimensionCommand, but I still get the zero (I am guessing null) reading for the StrDimDiameter and MeasZ variables. To add in the feature commands, do I write it out like above and do an if ObjCmd.IsFeature then StrDimID = ObjDimCmd.ID, etc?
