Set Flag if Dimension Out-of-Tolerance

Here's what I'm trying to do - Display a message, prior to printing results, that says "There are N dimensions out-of-tolerance, do you still want to print the report?" Of course, I could accomplish this by doing a whole lot of computations with expressions, but I'd thought I'd first inquire if PC-DMIS can set a flag, based upon the Dimension command, that I can convert into a counter.

  • The very bottom of the Edit Window reports Total # of meas and # out of tol.
    Ought to be a way to grab that info...

    We don't use Operator Mode so I don't know if it is visible.


    ClayT - good thinking... Thanks to you, I remembered the file "elogo.dat", opened it, and found the variable I need to be "#NOUT"... Now, my good friends, how would I use that within the body of a program (and not just at the end) ??? I'll have to experiment until someone within the DMIS hierarchy might respond...


    You can't access that command.

    in V2013 and later there is a SYSTEMINFO (?) parameter that can be accessed.
