Creating a manual pause

I have to measure a 1-72 thread location. I want to do this by putting a 1-72 Go Member in the threaded hole and this measure it. I know how to reverse the inspection direction and to move the location of the points to be inspected.

I need to create a manual pause in my inspection program so an operator can insert the Go Member. I also want to add a line statement to direct the operator to insert the Go Member. I have version 2022.2. How can I do this?

  • These are all great suggestions. I've been programing in PC Dims for a week (and doing quite well). If this was Zone3 or Calipso I would know which pull down menus to do this operation in. Can someone post which pull down menu the "Operator Comment" is in?
  • Stop thinking like you're in collapse-o. Change screen from summary mode to "Command Mode", then be a real programmer and just type it in.
    INSERT -TAB-
    OPER -TAB-
    YES (fullscreen) -TAB-
    NO (autocontinue) -TAB-
    "Please install plug gage into 1-72 threaded hole." -ENTER-
    "Press OKAY ONLY when plug is in place & CMM is clear"

    Voila, no dropdown or even a mouse-click needed, aside from getting to the cursor location in the code.

     PCDMIS is way better than collapse-o any day because of this one single trait. Smiley
