Looking for a cheat sheet for report letter meaning

Mikeg
I have a few operators here that can't understand the reports and I am going to make a cheat sheet to explain what the letters on the reports mean. X,Y,Z the LF(length feature), M and so on. I haven't looked back through my training manuals yet but I do have them if anyone recalls it being in there.
I was wondering if anyone all ready has one or if they know where to find one?
Thanks
  • Home > Axes Drop Down list Axes Drop Down list
    The Axes drop-down list provides you with a list of available axes, to which you can apply Plus and / or Minus tolerances. The list contains the following:

    All - All the axes and options displayed in the drop down list

    X - X axis value

    Y - Y axis value

    Z - Z axis value

    D - Diameter

    R - Radius (half of Diameter)

    A - Angle (for cones)

    L - Length (used for cylinder, slots, cones, and ellipses)

    H - Height

    PR - Polar Radius

    PA - Polar Angle

    T - Error along the approach vector (for points on curved surfaces)

    RT - Deviation along the report vector

    S - Deviation along the surface vector

    RS - Deviation along the surface report

    PD - Diameter of a circle (perpendicular to the pin vector)

    FORM - The integrated form dimension for the feature.
    • For a circle or cylinder feature, this is the Roundness (RN) dimension.
    • For a plane feature this is the Flatness (FL) dimension.
    • For a line feature this is the Straightness (ST) dimension.
  • Axes
    The Axes list in the Position dialog box (Insert | Dimension | Position) provides you with a list of available axes to which you can apply plus and / or minus tolerances. The list contains the following:

    ALL = All the axes and options displayed in the drop down list

    D1 = Diameter /Width of the first datum

    D2 = Diameter /Width of the second datum

    D3 = Diameter /Width of the third datum

    DF = Diameter /Width of the feature

    LF = Length of the feature if the feature is a slot

    WF = Width of the feature if the feature is a slot

    LD = Length of the datum if the datum is a slot

    WD = Width of the datum if the datum is a slot

    TP = Position tolerance and its associated deviation

    FORM = The integrated form dimension for the feature.

      • For a circle or cylinder feature, this is the Roundness (RN) dimension.
      • For a plane feature this is the Flatness (FL) dimension.
      • For a line feature this is the Straightness (ST) dimension.

  • I searched Axes in the help file... hope that helped...
  • Thanks Lord_Warfield, I was looking for it in the Help files but didn't know what to call it
    I appreciate it
  • in reply to Lord_Warfield
    It will definitely help me, I think I still have to create it because there is a few different ones on the report but I will use the explanations provided.
  • I use the report comment right before my output to show which features are critical dimensions, you can do with same with the dimensions you are reporting. 

    COMMENT/REPT,
THIS IS HOLE 1 DIAMETER
  • I add a lot of comments for which diameter, critical dimensions, feature groups, lines to break up the features, and just to make the report easier to understand. The problem I have is the inspectors always ask me what LF means, or A, and things like that so I am going to make a cheat sheet of all things on the report and hope when they get stuck they can just look at the sheet on the wall.

    when I report out a feature the first thing I do (if this applies) is I put the blueprint number and then description

    DIM 15_192_DIAMETER

    KIRBSTER269 I do label all my dimensions to the ballooned print but the secondary personnel and qc operators don't understand (even after I have explained it a thousand times) what M, A, LF, WF means on the report. I really don't think its going to matter either way because some of them I have told over and over and they still don't get it. I just wanted to make something so the next time someone messes up they cant say "I didn't understand or Mike never told me about that". But we both know no matter what I do its still going to happen.
    thanks for you input
