Results from 2 programs

I believe you would need some custom scripting to achieve that.

Export the results to Excel and then setup whatever comparison you need/want.
Automating this as a process would require a custom script though.

Thanks for the input. I was afraid there wouldn't be an existing script that was so specific.
I did forget to mention that I was looking for the difference between the measured total deviation
of each individual point in the first program vs the second program.
I tried to export to excel, but I don't need or want the format PCD2Excel provides.
Is there a script that shows the code to write the feature name and feature point deviation to
specific cells in excel?

Thanks again

Export the individual point deviations to a textfile.
Import into Excel.
Repeat for program 2.

Without knowing how your program looks like (with features and evaluations and such) it is hard to recommend what to do.

just out of curiosity, what exactly do you want to get out of it? the error of your probe?

i think modifying the "PCD2Excel" script so that it writes the results to other cells should be the quickest way to archiv your goal

Thanks VPT.SE and Henniger123,

VPT.SE,
Believe it or not, I have tried the text file approach and imported into
Excel. I just wanted to automate it more by writing directly into the
Excel file from PCDMIS with a script.

Henniger123,
I have an airfoil contour with approx 500 points. Critical, closer tolerance
points (vector points) are best fit and manufacturing is given an adjustment
to their undersize datum holes. (That's program 1 with a best fit).

When the part comes back for a final inspection (program 2), with full size datum holes,
(Alignment is now to full size datum holes),
I want to compare the difference between the deviations of the 500 vector points
in both programs.
Theoretically, the 500 points should have the same deviation in both programs.
Maybe in a parallel universe, but not in this reality.

Thanks for your comments.

Could it be NinjaBadger narrating the video?

lol - not me!

Took a wild guess!

Hello,

i think there was a trick to groupe the vector points as a point cloud and then extract the points as a csv/text file?

anyway,

in fact, it is not that difficult to write vector point results into an Excel.

please give me a bit of code from your measurement program, how it is structured and what the points are called​
