Suggestion: Easy access to axis data of geometric tolerance commands

Make it easy for the user to have access to all axis data inside the geometric tolerance command via variables.

We used to have the option to write " FCFLOC1.X.MEAS" while this syntax still works it only works if just one feature is selected inside the geometric tolerance command.

The new syntax is " FCFLOC1.SEGMENT[1].FEATURE[1].MEAS" while we can change the feature number to get the different measurement values there is no possibility to get the axis data of the features.

My proposal is to let the user add the axis letter(s) before the " .MEAS" or ". DEV" to indicate which axis he wants extracted. If no letter is indicated the syntax behaves as before.

The syntax should work with all available axis letters not only the ones shown on the report.

Examples:
" FCFLOC1.SEGMENT[1].FEATURE[2].X.MEAS"
" FCFLOC2.SEGMENT[1].FEATURE[5].Y.DEV"
" FCFLOC3.SEGMENT[1].FEATURE[3].PA.DEV"

Maybe there are already possibilities to get this data, but I couldn't find any (they are not shown inside the expression builder).

I don't have any votes left in the Idea Center so if any one agrees with the suggestion I would appreciate your votes Slight smile
