Custom Reports - Keep the view in the Objects

Mykel
Hi guys

I have asked Hexagon for help, but the answer and tips I got from them doesn’t seem to work for me.
So now I hope that one of you have been in the same situation as I am in and have a “step-by-step” guide that can help me.

The situation:
I have some programs made by Hexagon that uses ‘Custom Report’.
On every page there is a “screen-shots” of the areas of the part, to which the results on the same page refer.
Everything is fine, until now.
My colleagues in the production would like me to make a new layout.
They would like to make it easier for the operators to read the report. I agree, it’s actually a good idea.

So, on the report, they would like the results divided into “chapters” like this:
  1. Alignment. It is an iterative alignment, and this shows that the alignment is okay.
  2. Distances to CNC-fixture. This will help the CNC-technicians adjust the part in the fixtures.
  3. All dimensions of machined features: Positions of holes and slots. Diameter of holes. Length and width of slots. Depth of holes and slots.
  4. Positions of the part. The part is an extruded profile made in aluminum, so the CNC-technicians will be, with help from these information’s, able to position the machined features (holes and slots) correctly on the extruded profile.
I was told by Hexagon, that the “screen-shots” are not allowed to have the same name (ObjectName), so I have renamed them every time I inserted a new “screen-shot”.
After that I inserted the measurement according to the inserted “screen-shot” on every page.
Everything works fine.
BUT…
When I save the ‘Custom Report’, and make a preview of the report, all “screen-shots” are changed compared to the view I made during the editing.
Not one of them looks like they did, when I saved the ‘Custom report’, and when I try to fix it afterwards, the result is the same. They “turn” back, and shows the part from a totally different angle.

I have tried different procedures, because I though it had to do with the order I inserted, renamed the “screen-shots” in. No difference. No matter which order I use, the result is the same.
I looked it up in the manual for “how to make ‘Custom report’ or even ‘Reports at all’.
Could not find a solution.


I’m close to give up and call it a day.
So, you are my last chance of finding the trick to fix this.
I could really use a ‘Step-by’step’ guide on how to fix this issue.

Anyone?

  • I've never been a fan of the way Pcdmis makes visual reports, text reports, fine, but visual? Nope. I do all of mine in Excel. Lots of setup to do it, but they look EXACTLY the same, every time. Sorry I've no help for your problem as a Pcdmis issue, but it's good to know there are other ways of doing it.

    I agree, I am struggling with creating great reports, a breeze in software like Zeiss Inspect but a nightmare in PC-DMIS.

    Sometimes you need to have an evaluation before the snapshot in order for the snapshot to show up on the report.

    Modus operandi is:
    Create everything that you want to be shown in the snapshot.
    Create view.
    Recall the view you created.
    Create snapshot.
