I've noticed so far that while looking at the cad model in the graphics display window it shows all the points I have taken during the inspection. What I'd like to know is if it possible to display seperate point groups while hiding all other points so I can report where hits were taken while inspecting certain features using the screen capture command.
You SHOULD be able to do this by showing ONLY the ones you want, save the view, then recall the view.
HOWEVER, Pcdmis doesn't do this very well, it will (sometimes) show ALL even when you only had a few showing when you saved the view, and I've seen the RECALL saved view code crash programs.
I have been trying to do this without success for quite some time. Mind you, this has been with my current version 3.7mr3.
What I have been doing for a while now is to measure my part, then when its done, do the following;
i) go to Insert / Report Command / Dimension Info, then select the features I wish to report and rotate the view as required.
ii) I then use some method to do a screen capture (we have a program called "Snagit") and resize / trim the screen capture.
iii) Last, I copy and paste into an excel sheet.
iv) I have multiple views with all of my pertinent information.
For us, this is actually the way one of our customers wants to see their reports. A little tedious but it works.
Ok Matthew yeah I definitly see the issue with it not always isolating the point, but this gives me more to try thanks.
...and I if I don't like the results I'll try your idea Peter. We use a "fastone" capture (assuming it's probably close to the same thing) I'll give that a shot
Excellent suggestion using Snagit...I'm also using Snagit and it works great.
I was wondering if you can help me change the tag from a grafic to the actual value output. Customer wants to see values in the capture.
thanks,
