Measurment Routine Template

So I was doing some reading in the PC-DMI Help file and found something about Measurement Routine Templates.

https://docs.hexagonmi.com/pcdmis/2022.2/en/helpcenter/index.htm#t=mergedProjects%2Fcore%2F03_user_topics%2FUsing_Measurement_Routine_Templates.htm&rhsearch=Routine%20Template&rhhlterm=Routine%20Template&rhsyns=%20

Reading this help article I feel like im missing something.

I dont see either of those things in PC-DMIS vvvvvvvvvvv

  1. From the Home page, from that measurement routine's tile, access the ... menu option.

  2. Choose Add Template to show the Add Template dialog box.

I just need a little bit of guidance on this. Either I'm missing a step or things have changed since that help article has been written

Thanks agin

  • That program then becomes a template that can be used for making new programs with. To control what part of the program becomes the template you need to use these start and end commands.

    • #TEMPLATE_COMMAND_START_POINT#

    • #TEMPLATE COMMAND_END_POINT#

    $$ NO,
                #TEMPLATE_COMMAND_START_POINT#

    $$ NO,

    What PC-DMIS actually does is just open that original program the template is created from and copy + pastes it into your newly created program with that template.

    I personally haven't used it as I do not know if that it is useful for me. If there's any special reporting formats we use, I can just paste the information in myself.

  • Thank you William. You Helped me connect the dots. This should solve the issues I have been having.

    Much Appreciated
