Report mode TEXT MODE DIMENSION not adding MMC

So i'm really hoping there is a fix for this. I have tried a million different things and I still can not seem to get this to work correctly.

Im using PC-DMIS 2014.1 64bit & 2015.0 64 bit

When loading my reports i use the default layout, and everything works and loads just fine. My reports are over 100 pages. So it takes a while to load them, and saving them takes even longer. So i started using the TEXT MODE, like how the old default was years ago. So I right click at the bottom of the report page, and turn on ( USE TEXT MODE DIMENSION REPORTING ). And for some reason when I switches to this, the MMC will not add the BONUS down to the TP line. So all my True Positions look out of tolerance.

I took a screen shot of a view in both report modes to give you an idea of what im talking about. Please advice.

Generally im really good at problem solving with little pc-dmis errors and finding other work arounds. & i have tried EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF. turning it on with dat. & off. reloading report, opening Bonus, lowering bonus.

Its weird because in the graphical report it works perfect! Its just that file is waayyy to big.

& it should pull all the same data for TEXT MODE DIMENSION


HERE AT SOME PICTURES OF BOTH!!!

PLEASE ADVICE!!!!!!

    I believe there are a few things you can do to speed up report generation and reduce file size, but I can't remember exactly what they are (and can't look right now - I've a part part running).


    You can get rid of that rubbish blue colour on the reports quite easily however. In later versions there's an option in Setup (F5) General tab to disable background highlighting.


    Edit: I also notice you've got things other than letters numbers and underscores in your feature / dimension names. This will at some point cause you issues (and you might not even know it!). I use report comments for things like 26.125±0.05
  • yeah it depends on what the ending letter or number is.
  • I notice that you are doing only one axis in the tp. I see prints that show only one axis but tp does a Ø zone, not just one axis. Correct me if I am wrong people. Also, to reduce the size of your reports, are you saving them as rtf? I take the rtf file, open it and save as a Word 97-2003 doc. If you have a bitmap header and you do not need it, get rid of it. You can make a text header which will be lower in size. Hope this is some help.

    Merry Christmas,

  • Call your positions and width into a generic in/out circle.
    Dimension the generic circle like you would the feature you're trying to evaluate.
