Anytime I have gotten a hard copy of data I had to type it all in to a program. The only way to import data to pcdmis that I know of is through cad or dmis file. Maybe someone else might know something. But I have never heard anything about it. SORRY I COULD NOT HELP MORE.
When you do that you reference FILEVAR when ever you need what was in the text file. __________________[/QUOTE craiger_ny View Public Profile Send a private message to craiger_ny Find all posts by craiger_ny Add craiger_ny to Your Buddy List

I really apperciate all of your help. When i try to insert something into the code it either deletes it or i can't put any thing there. I tried to copy and paste what you entered and also i finally found the help for reading from a file in the help menu, but i couldn't even put that in there.

I apologize if I am not understanding your question, but there is a way to do what you asked the 2md time. You can create an XYZ file, its a simple text file. There is a line of parameters it needs is all.
It will put the feature name ( PT12X34) in, the xyz coordinates and if you have the data, the IJK values. Once its read in, you can just pick those points off the screen and it will automatically bring up the autofeature box with all that info in it. You can even window around up to 250 (I think) at a time and write a huge program in seconds....I do this with Boeing files (Although they are DES files, I convert them to XYZ files....
Let me know if this is what you are trying to do, or explain what you want to do with the data ?
I im trying to let Pc-Dmis decide what version of the measurment it shuld run
there are 18 versions at the moment it can take up to 30 min just to figure out what version it is.
They are so alike
If i can get Pc-Dmis to read some data from our ordering system then this solusion shuld make my life alot easier

You want to create a parametric program and use Excel as the database?
If so:
Excel makes it a pain.
How many different parts in the family?
How many parameters in each part?
A simple text file might be easier to manage
I always use a text file to manager parametric data.
