Below is a simple piece of code that checks for both the Legacy AND XactMeasure GD&T for OUTTOL conditions. It even checks the XactMeasure in the second tier in case of composite FCF's.
As a debug tool, I decided to store all OUTTOLS in a file called COMMANDS.TXT. This file has no value, other then that it helps to understand how this script works.
There is still the issue of profile. Profile is not properly evaluated by PC-DMIS. This has been reported numerous times but Hexagon informed me that they believe they do it right. If you want to correctly evaluate profile you will have to add your own code. I may do that in the future, if this becomes a real issue for me.

Sub Main() 'This *.bas is a simple, modified version of Craigs modified outtol.bas (whose original author nobody seems To know). 'Jan. 'What it does: 'It takes all Dimensions that have an ID that starts With CD (For Critical dimension), regardless whether they are legacy Or XactMeasure. 'Then it will look whether this dimension is out of tolerance Or Not. ' If it is OutTol, it will increase PC-DMIS variable "NUMBEROUTTOL". ' This works also For the second tier of the FCF For the XactMeasure GD&T. ' One known problem: this does Not address the XactMeasure Profile tolerance issue (PC-DMIS does Not evaluate that properly). To correct this ' a lot more code will need To be developed.
