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

  • With no programs open

    It should be here on the home page under recent programs 3-dot context menu.

    Then click the "New" menu option on the left side to see your created or default templates.

  • Would that make the program the template, or does it add a template to the program?

  • 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.

                SHOW CONTACT PARAMETERS=NO
    $$ NO,
                #TEMPLATE_COMMAND_END_POINT#

    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.
