Reporting Issues (Sectioning off reported features)

jay vq

I am in the process of customizing the CAD- only landscape style report for a measurement routine as this format suits our needs the best. Within each page, I can zoom in/out on the CAD model that allow me to display a specific area of the part where I would like specific features to be displayed. Let's say I have 200 holes, slots, surface points, etc. that are measured, but I only want to report certain feature groupings that are close to each other on the scanned part.

For example, page 1 displays features 1-15 which are from the top left of the scanned part, this is okay. Page 2 displays features 16-30 but I need page 2 to only display features 16-20 because those 5 features are in close proximity with each other at the top right of the scanned part. Page 3 should only display features 21-30 for the same reason. However, in my report I am finding it difficult to customize each individual report page with the feature labels I require. 

Is there something I can write within the program or do within the report that would allow me to section off which exact features I want to report on a specific page?

I want to add that I have all features, within the program, in the order I would like them to be reported, I just don't know how to section them off for the report.

I was told the formfeed/ command would allow me to section the features off by page as well, however it did not work.

I have also tried to increase the label count per page, in the report itself, to 20 and then duplicate the page to section off the features I want to group together but this hasn't worked properly because certain features will still fail to be reported on the pages I need.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback! 

Thank you for your support!

    I think FORMFEED only works for the TEXTONLY report.

    You could try recalling a VIEWSET after the features you want to display. It may force PCDMIS to create a new page for the report.

    This is how we do it at my workplace.  We use the standard texonly report template and use snapshots to show different features in different images.  Formfeeds are also used as needed to make the report easier to follow. 

    With snapshots you can just hide/show/orient things in the gfxwindow however you would like then insert a snapshot command.  Then you can rearrange things to show other features and make another snapshot command.  And so on.  You can also achieve this with viewset and screen capture commands, but I feel that snapshots make it much easier.

    I second the snapshots. Makes things so easy! Just arrange your image for the "camera" and click it. Will be the same every time you run the program. 

    The only issue I have had is that sometimes when showing graphical analysis of features that it doesn't seem to "update" fast enough or something and it will show the incorrect area. However this was on a program that had 10 gear teeth in a row with their own profiles, so I will give the Demon a pass on that one.
