[2022.2 SP1] Autofeatures overwrite measured values upon clicking OK

By design or bug?

Measured an autofeature (cylinder in my case).
F9 the autofeature and hit OK (do not edit anything).
Note the measured values has been overwritten with the THEOS/TARGS (just like you created a new feature).
Expected behaviour: Nothing should be overwritten, if anything should be overwritten, it is the changes I had made (nothing, that is).
Hitting "Cancel" does not change the MEAS.

Additional bug:
Change the THEOS for the autofeature in the edit window, and answer yes to the update target values.
Note that the measured values did not change in the edit window, but they have changed "behind the scenes" for the feature.
I noticed this as my TP for the cylinder was 0.
So, it has the same behaviour as the first issue, but without the updated edit window code.

I believe we have had this issue in an earlier version...

  • The edit window behaviour you describe sounds the same as an issue you previously posted here : https://www.pcdmisforum.com/forum/pc-dmis-enterprise-metrology-software/pc-dmis-for-cmms/504500-2021-2-sp1-geotol-tp-calculation-is-wrong?p=511919#post511919

    That was in relation to the hits getting re-set when making changes to THEO values in the edit window. That fix was done by a different team and went into the initial release build of 2022.2. It sounds like it may have somehow got broken again in 2022.2 SP1. I'm trying to get hold of the other team's Product Owner to investigate.

    As for making edits from the auto-feature dialog, If you simply hit F9 and then click OK / Cancel without making any changes, I would expect all values to remain unchanged. However, If you hit F9 and make a change to ANY setting or THEO value from the dialog, I would expect the auto-feature to be reset when clicking OK. Again, I'm waiting to talk to the other Product Owner to confirm the intended design.
  • That would be the expected behaviour if I F9 the autofeature - don't change anything -> OK just closes the dialog without touching any values. But it seems it is more like Matt describes, it overwrites the MEAS when I click OK.

    If the MEAS is <> THEO it should not overwrite the MEAS with THEOs. If it does overwrite, we can never change the THEO diameter for example and hit OK without the need to measure the hole again. Sometimes the THEO from CAD needs to be changed in order to match drawing (roundings and whatnot) but then I must write the correct THEOs at the creation of the feature, I can't measure the part and then go back to fix the THEOs without having to measure it again because it overwrites the MEAS on OK...
