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.
So here is something that I tried, but so far it is not working.
Dim App As Object
Dim Part As Object
Dim Cmds As Object
Dim Cmd As Object
Dim MyID As String
Dim MyNom As String
Dim MyDev As String
Dim MyAx As String
Dim Meas As String
Dim NewID As String
Dim n As Integer
Dim c As String
Sub Main()
Set App = CreateObject("PCDLRN.Application")
Set Part = App.ActivePartProgram
Set Cmds = Part.Commands
For Each Cmd In Cmds
If Cmd.IsDimension Then
MyID = Cmd.DimensionCommand.ID
If MyID = " " Then
n = Command.Count - 1
MyID = Cmd.DimensionCommand.ID(n)
End If
MyNom = "ID ="
MsgBox MyNom & MyID
End If
Next
End Sub
The thought behind this was that if I was scanning forward in the program it would be command.count +1 so backward would be command.count - 1 and that should give me the previous id, maybe.
