List all out of tolerance items on first page of report

We want to change our CMM reports so that everything that was out of tolerance is shown on the first page(s) and then the usual report follows after that.

What is the easiest/best way to achieve this? I found a post from 13 years ago where someone mentioned making an OOT report and calling/inserting that in the beginning of the usual report, but is there an easier or better way? I am using PC-DMIS 2022 but one of the CMM's is still running 2018 so hopefully there is something that would work for both.

  • Calling the different reports is probably the easiest way (and it's not overly difficult).


    1) Locate the reporting directory (i.e. C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hexagon\PC-DMIS\2023.1\Reporting) and make a copy of the Report (TEXTONLY.RTP => TEXTONLY_OUTTOL.RTP)

    2) From within PC-Dmis File > Reporting > Edit > Report Template and select and open the OUTTOL copy

    3)On TheView (on the right) it just looks blank, but right click in the middle of the page which will bring up the properties

    4) There's a ShowDimensions property, change this to 'Out of Tol' - save and close the report template.

    5) In your programs, at the start Insert>Report Command> Template Report and select the OUTTOL report

    In the Edit window make sure it's set like this

    CS1 =REPORT/TEMPLATE, FILENAME= TEXTONLY - OUTTOL.RTP, Section=-1,REPORTMODE= SWITCH
    PARAM/=
    ENDREPORT/

    6) At the end of your program Insert>Report Command> Template Report and select the standard report​ (TEXTONLY.RTP

    In the Edit window make sure it's set like this:

    CS2 =REPORT/TEMPLATE, FILENAME= TEXTONLY.RTP, Section=-1,REPORTMODE= INSERT
    PARAM/=
    ENDREPORT/​
