How to edit hole size in position callout

jeregonn
Hello,

I am struggling to figure this out and I feel it should be simple.

So I measure the hole, hole size measures a couple thou larger than it actually is, how can I input a hole size verified with a pin gage in my report out?

Thanks
  • I usually put a comment at the top of the report (we use stepahead for generating reports) stating hole sizes are in spec with pin gage and or caliper

    You could also use "keyin" for actual size if you like or put in either a Report Comment using input or Yes/No.
  • Without the correct hole size in the position on the report the bonus is going to be off. If there is no way to edit the hole size to what it actually is I guess I can hide the Ø callout since it is rarely accurate and do as you said.

    One other question I have is when entering [Ø.014(MMC)|A|B(MMC)] it asks for Ø___ after B. What is the correct thing to enter here? I have been entering the minimum hole size for B.
  • In program code change the nominal diameter to desired size, move the cursor up or down fo PC-DMIS to recognize the change, say YES when asked should you change measured value, change the diameter back to nominal, move the cursor up or down fo PC-DMIS to recognize the change, say NO when asked should you change measured value.

    I think You can leave it blank.
  • Nano,

    That worked; however, when I ran the next it updated to the measured values. Do you know a way to prevent the new hole size I entered from being overwritten? I am in a sheet metal fab shop and some of these parts have a lot of holes. This process would add hours to some runs.
  • Use key-in dimensions.

    Create a generic circle that has XYZIJK from your measured hole. Use the keyin NOM and MEAS as your circle Diameter. TP the generic feature.

    Every time you run the program, the measured values will update.

    Try playing with the hole parameters, number of hits, advanced measurement options (least square, max inscribed, fix radius,...),... If you use fix radius, the radius (and the diameter) will always be to what you set nominal at. Run after run.

    What Vinni said will work too.
