FCF will not update the measured value

MikeL.
version 2023.2
I have tried everything I can think of to fix the problem but nothing works. This is just one example but it's pretty much the entire dimension results. Will not update. All dimensions are at the end of the program. I've used print command, executed from all constructed features through the final alignment and dimensioning, closed, shutdown, restarted, created new features, FCF's. Anyone else have this issue?

  • What are you trying to have change?

    By the way, try to only use numbers, letters, and underscores in any naming conventions.
  • The measured/actual value does not match the result. I'll take out the space and dashes and see if that works.

    That didn't help.
  • The diameters in the feature itself is Least Squared. In the FCF, it is UAME. Two different methods of measuring the diameter. That's why it shows up differently. If you don't want it on your report, just hide it from showing. Try changing the Feature_Math and Datum_Math to Least Squared.
  • Perfect. Changing Feature_Math and Datum_Math to Least Squared worked. Making changes like that is way above my paygrade. Whatever the default settings are, I just leave it. Thanks for your help. This will be remembered going forward.

    No problem. Glad to help!

    I'm going to bust your chops here though...understanding the software, especially major functionalities of the software and what is happening, especially related to GD&T, dimensioning schemes like mating envelopes, etc. is a part of your pay grade. We need to assure that whatever that machine is spitting out is accurate. But asking the questions like this is all part of the process. Most of us have been in this boat or currently are in this boat.

    Best of luck to you in the future. There is a lot to this job, so keep learning and growing!
  • I agree. Been programming since 2011 in the automotive industry and never programmed using FCF's. All programs needing that was sent from Detroit and we would just re-order and edited to prove the programs out. I have learned a ton over the years but have never felt so incapable until coming to my current job. Thanks again for your help. Now that I'm registered I'll be here quite often.
