Trouble with report printing

I am having the following problems when printing reports;

When I run a new program for the first time, a report window is populated with all dimensions that I have created in the program and my template report "TEXT ONLY" is selected. I do not have to insert a "REPORT COMMAND" at the end of the file to get the report, I just open the report window and the report is there. I can then print it and save it if required. Works perfectly I believe. The problem starts the next time I run the program on another part. I change the serial number at the start of the program to keep track of the part being measured and run the program again. However, when I open the report window, all of my dimension data is there to be printed but there is no title block. It looks like it has changed to a different report template. I can then add a "REPORT COMMAND" at the end of the program, re-open the report window and I get the data and title block but it is duplicated. When I print I get two copies. All subsequent runs of the program do not output anything to the report window so I have to delete and re-insert the "REPORT COMMAND" in order to get any data output. Again, the data is duplicated so I get two copies when I print. Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong? The only other piece of information I can add is that the first run includes manual hits for initial alignment and subsequent runs are done from the second DCC alignment.

Thanks in advance, Glenn

  • When you are getting duplicate features being reported it's usually from partial executions. Using either CTRL + U (Execute from cursor) or CTRL+ E (Execute current feature at cursor) To prevent the double reporting from being the one that is printed/shown click the "View Report Mode" toggle button shown below in picture. I can't think of anything that changing a serial label before running the next part would cause this reporting issue unless you are indeed using partial executions.

    Example of Duplicate reporting showing when "View Last Execute Mode" is selected and normal reporting when "View Report Mode" is selected.
