Running PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 SP5
-----------------------------------------------
So I was tasked with creating a report that would output a big ol' checkmark if the measurement was good, and a big ol' X if it was not.
So I did, and it looks nice.
However it suddenly started using a different dimension label.
The way I set it up is I went into the label, Save As'd LEGACY_DIMENSION_IN and ..._OUT. That way it will still default to the LEGACY_DIMENSION or whatever it's supposed to for other measurements (I am specifically doing this for 2d and 3d angle dimensions. The others use whatever's default)
I went into the report Rule Tree, went to the 2d and 3d angles and put 2 if statements.
If the out tolerance is 0, use IN:
IF "DIM_OUTTOL:N==0" Then Use Template ..._IN.lbl
if it's not 0, use OUT:
IF "DIM_OUTTOL:N<>0" Then Use Template ..._OUT.lbl
(I do not have a "USE xxx.LBL" because I don't want it to default to anything for those measurements, otherwise what's the point)
It worked beautifully!
I was getting some nice reports, everything looked good.
Notice the past tense...
Well, now it doesn't. For whatever reason, using that methodology, I still get everything to work, except the actual dimension.
Basically, it switched the label to be the default.lbl dimension label, but it still puts the check or X on it, which should only apply to the legacy_dimension_N or OUT.lbl.
Strange!
I think it's ugly, and outputs a lot of unncessary information for these features. I'm sure it would look nice for others, but what it was is very readable by (slow) humans.
This not so much.
Hopefully you can help?
