I output a PDF report for every part I check and I currently use auto indexing to name them. There is a report comment at the beginning of the program that asks for the serial # of the part. I was wondering if it's possible to instead have PC DMIS automatically add that same serial # to the end of the file name instead of the index #. This would be helpful if I need to find the report for a specific piece later. I know I could just manually type it in each time. I'm just looking for a more efficient method since the serial #'s are often over 20 characters and I never remember what it was at the end of the program and I'd rather not take it off the machine before viewing the report in case I need to remeasure something. Am I asking too much here?
Thank you, I will try that. I figured there might be a way to do it by going into command mode and editing the code, but knowing how to do that is way beyond me. I'm not a computer programmer and I'm still very new with writing CMM programs. I appreciate the help.
