Anyone use Discus and PC-DMIS?

I use legacy dimensions. They take up less space and I think it's easier to read.
I insert report comments before each dimension that note the FAI balloon number.
I don't bother to use special names for the dimensions or features (other than to help me ID them), and I don't usually try to keep the numbers in order.
CMM items are circular balloons and manual inspection items are hex balloons.

First step to creating a CMM program is to create the ballooned FAI document.
Then I enter the report comments into the program as each dimension is created

In the above examples item 1 is the diameter of cylinder C, item 1.1 is the TP of that cylinder, item 16 is the diameter of a bunch of pilot holes and item 38 is a note in the P/L than defines the tolerance for the location of the pilots.

(I'm glad I put up this post. I just found an error in the program; the tolerance on cyl C diameter.)
