I have been running into problems using 2014 where it seems like I am getting a backlog of information being used when it shouldn't be. Example: I program a part, very straight forward alignment, A-top plane, B- Line, C-cylinder...theses are used for both manual and DCC alignment. Now I check the true position on several holes using legacy dimensioning and the numbers look good. I take said part of and put on part two, part number two's true position numbers have doubled, part three's position numbers have doubled from part two's, and so on and so fourth. Has anyone run into this occurrence? And if so, what have you done to fix it?
They do double, but they double even when i execute from the manual alignment. It's bizarre!
Do you mean you are getting more dimensions than you wanted (from the previous run) or the values are doubling?
This may not apply since you are performing a Cnltr+Q but pcdmis has always appended to its execute list when not executing from start. To clear unwanted items to allow execute from cursor use File/Reset execute list.
A doubling of values seems to indicate some sort of alignment offsets being applied. Hard to tell without the code. Are you recalling an external alignment that could cause issues? Running a LOOPed program?
The values are doubling, when checked with other means (i.e. height gage), it is clear that they can't be as high as it is showing.
No external alignment is being recalled, the program is not looped. The alignment is the same for the manual and DCC. z+ leveled and origend to the plane (Datum A), line (datum B) rotated x+ about Z+, points on line taken left to right, Y+ origin on the line and X+ origin to a cylinder (Datum C).
I don't see anything wrong there and I apologize clear associated data is for clearing the report. If your actual dimensions values are doubling that is something different. One thing I did notice that I would maybe get away from is using those brackets in the comment box. pcdmis looks at those as functions. I don't think that's your problem though. Is that the whole code? Copy and paste the whole code if not to long. You can use code tags
your code here [ code/ ] don't use spaces as I have.
