I'm fairly new to CMM programming and PC-DMIS so go easy on me. I do not have much experience with writing code but after reading through this forum it appears that you can do a lot to automate some of the things I have to do within my programs. The program I'm working with now requires that I create a Writeline for each point taken within the program to write the Point name along with the Nominal XYZ IJK and Measured XYZ values to a text file. This is very tedious so I thought I ask about creating a script to do this for me.
The writeline currently looks like this where IP_1000 is the ID for the vector point. The script would have to create a writeline like this at the end of the program for each point.
There are about 400 points in these programs so having to call a subroutine for each point doesn't seem like the best solution. I'd like to do just as vpt.se suggested but I don't know where to get started. I've only done very simple coding in vb and never anything that interfaces with another program such as PC DMIS.
