Attached to this post is the latest version of the Excel spreadsheet I use to pull dimensions from PC-DMIS. This is especially useful when you have multiple parts to run and you want all the dimensions on one sheet.
There have been a few minor changes from the original. The most significant change was to add support for bonus tolerances on FCF dimensions. Key-ins are supported. Works in V2014.1 and most others, including V4.3
Feel free to suggest improvements but I have limited time and ability.
The original source code was written by Jared Hess at Wilcox a long ,long time ago ... in a galaxy far, far away. This version has been heavily modified (by me) over the years, and fortunately, I haven't completely ruined it yet.
Dimensional results are put into a column on the spreadsheet. Each part you run starts a new column.
This post will replace the one I have in "code samples"
Make sure you enable macros.
You may have to choose the correct library file depending on the version of PC-DMIS you are running.
This happens when you're at a feature that is checking perpendicularity. Not sure why, or what causes this, but if you click ok the worksheet still uploads all the pertinent information from the program. We've been using this sheet for about 1 1/2 years now and this is the only issue we've found with the sheet. It has definitely helped with data collection and capability study information!
