Hope everyone is well on this Friday. I have a decent issue on my hands. I'm measuring a few parts to get a feel for what the numbers are. The first part was a completed part that inspected all the features. The next two parts are missing a giant bore in them. But wanted to check the position of some other holes.
The problem I'm having is that, my report shows the same numbers as from the first part. Its not updating to the newly measured parts. Any idead to as what I'm doing wrong? Thaks for your time.
So you made a program, ran it and got data. Now you run subsequent units and the data is not updating?
Or are the parts actually capable of being manufactured with little to no variation?
Often, sharing the program code can help people see what is taking place that could otherwise cause you an issue.
I just stopped the program before the feature was measured. then when asked if I still wanted to print report I said yes. I can paste the whole code in a few minutes. Thanks again.
Yes, I ran the subsequent parts and they repeat line for line what the first part yielded. The parts are thermal plastic moldings. I'm new at the plastic stuff. All my experience is from a machine shop working with metal. However, there has to be some variation. I'm obviously doing something wrong. I will post the code. Thanks.
If you're reporting all dimensions at the end of the program rather than after every feature measured, then the report is not updating if you stop the routine after the feature is measured but before you get to the dimension...if I understand the question correctly....
You can manually add the code tags: [COD3] and [/COD3] (just make the '3' and 'E')
Or click the hashtag symbol '#' in the ribbon above the replay box to put the tags in for you. Then paste the information in between. You do have a limit to how many characters you can input at 1 time.
You must execute all of the features involved in the dimensions you want to collect data for. This includes any constructed features and datums as well. As an example, let's say I have 2 Auto Points on opposite sides of a 123 block. I construct a 2D line from the 2 hits on one side and a 2D line from 2 hits on the other side. Then I construct a 2D width feature from those 2 lines. And I have dimensions associated with the Width feature. In order for those dimensions to calculate correctly AND update, I would need to run those 4 points, then skip down to the 2D lines and execute those. Then go to the 2D width and execute it. Then go to the dimensions and execute those. The same goes for
any feature involved in
any and all of the dimensions you want to collect data for. If you want to efficiently execute only specific parts of a program, you should look into "Marked Sets"
