Header while looping

How can I get the header to print on every report when using loops? We have several fixtures we use to locate parts when inspecting them with the CMM. So to save time, we loop back to the part to eliminate the need to take the hits on the fixture every time. However, the header does not print out on any of the reports after the first part is checked.

  • What about placing the header label command in an IF/ENDIF statement which tests for the loop counter? If LOOP>1 then show the label.

    That was my original thought but I couldn't get If/ENDIF to work in 2015.0 Offline. Didn't want to accept any arguments in the expression builder. It may just be me; I haven't played around with IF/ENDIF in PC DMIS. Understand the concept and have used it in other software but hadn't had the need where I'm at now. Got this to work and it was simple enough to cut and paste into my programs.
