Using CAD to help direct our programming?

We are currently programming very large parts with several dimensions. We have an Absolute Romer Arm using PC-Dmis 2015. Using a different software for the few days I worked at my current job (3 years ago), it would light up on the CAD the next section to be checked. We have several planes, lines, points, etc. on the parts and would like to be able to do something similar. Is there any way to create a program using the CAD that would easily show the section we are to check next? For example, our inspector creates a program for a part. I want to run the program at a later point, but I have no idea what exactly plane #46 is or where line# 37 is supposed to be checking. I'd like to be able to see some sort of visual clue on the CAD that helps direct me to where to create this plane, line etc. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

  • You can use viewsets to segregate your program into areas. You will need to define the viewsets of the ares of interest and then recall them as needed. This will snap the view as defined and make it easy for the operator to see what is supposed to be inspected. This has another benefit in that the areas 'between' viewsets will be in separate sections of your report. So if you make a CAD report the items between the different views will be in separate sections.
