Multiple snapshots

Trying to show multiple snapshots in one report. CADGRAPH gets very "busy" showing the entire part profile. I've been asked to show multiple snapshots of different areas of the part on the same report. I've added several profile checks of the various areas of the part. Seems like I would have to turn each CADGRAPH on and off for each snapshot. Has anyone been able to do this?

  • I know what you mean. The report can get really messy in a hurry with all the overlapping graphs. There is no easy setting I know of to show some graphs in one snapshot and not have them show up in the following snapshots.

    My method is typically to use a snapshot to show what is being graphed (typically profile scans) followed by a graphical analysis in the same orientation. It makes something that isn't too much work to set up and gives the desired information. Though, it isn't quite as nice as what you are looking for.

    There is a hack to do just what you want, but it can be a bit tedious. See this post: Turn off CAD graphs programatically - PC-DMIS User Forum (pcdmisforum.com)

    The formatting of the original post is hard to follow - the text formatting isn't displaying properly in the code window. Scroll to post #5 where I re-posted the original code as I think it was intended to be viewed.

    That example uses the older viewset commands, but it should work the same with snapshots.
