MAX Point MIN Point Of a scan

Morning All,

I am having some trouble finding the max values for different linear open scans. I looked at other posts and I tried Josh's code but I could not get it to work.

Does anyone see a problem with my code or something I am doing wrong?


F1 =GENERIC/POINT,DEPENDENT,CARTESIAN,$
NOM/XYZ,<TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].TX,TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].TY,TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].TZ>,$
MEAS/XYZ,<TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].X,TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].Y,TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].Z>,$
NOM/IJK,<TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].TI,TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].TJ,TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].TK>,$
MEAS/IJK,<TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].I,TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].J,TOPSCN.HIT[MAXPTINDEX].K>

DIM LOC1= LOCATION OF POINT F1 UNITS=IN ,$
GRAPH=OFF TEXT=OFF MULT=10.00 OUTPUT=BOTH HALF ANGLE=NO
AX NOMINAL +TOL -TOL MEAS DEV OUTTOL MAX MIN
X 0.0000 0.0020 0.0020 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 ----#----
Y 0.0000 0.0020 0.0020 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 ----#----
Z 0.0000 0.0020 0.0020 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 ----#----
END OF DIMENSION LOC1
ASSIGN/MAXPTINDEX=0

TIA

  • I'm going to go on a little rant here:

    Every time I see a post on this topic (and there are TONS of them) it just infuriates me. I've had an enhancement request in for at LEAST 7 years to make this a simple point construction in pc-dmis.

    I requested that they mimic the DMIS standard "CONSTR/POINT/EXTREM" command which covers it very thoroughly.

    Promises have been made, "we're working on it", but it never gets done

    As evidenced by the sheet number of posts on this topic it can be stated that:

    1) It is a very common need when creating cmm programs.
    2) pc-dmis implementation to accomplish the task is overly complicated.
    3) pc-dmis customers are wasting incredible amounts of time to accomplish what should be a very simple construction.
    4) It is very much prone to user error. (Me included).

    I'm of the opinion that a cmm programmer shouldn't have to to understand higher level programming concepts like array indexing to be able to create a cmm program.

    End of rant. Hopefully the OP can muddle his way through this and find his high point.
