Reference Dimension How To

How can I add a reference dimension to the report without having a plus or minus tolerance? What I mean is, I don't want to see +0.0000 and -0.0000 all I want to see on the report is the actual measured dimension, the nominal and how far it deviates. and no matter how far the measured value is from the nominal that the report shows it as acceptable (GREEN) even if its off by a mile.

Would I have to change the report and not show the +TOL, -TOL, and OUTTOL for reference dimensions every time or is there something simpler? Turning these on and off each time I have a reference dimension is like work. Even when I remove the extra stuff it still shows as red in color, Engineers do not like the red color, how do I change it to green, would I have to put a +/- 1,000 inches?

When using Calypso it is as simple as not putting a checkmark in the +TOL and -TOL sections. Does PC-DMIS have something as simple as that?

    ASSIGN/V1=D18.MEAS

    COMMENT/REPT,
    "Reference Dimension 1 : " + V1



    NOTE that output is set to NONE in the dimension. This keeps the dimension from printing or saving to Datapage. If you want it save to datapage then output would need to be set to Stats.

    To get the Comment command to work the quotation marks and the plus sign are required. A space before and after the plus sign is also required. You can have any text that you want between the quotation marks.
  • Thanks again, I will just change the Parameters Utility Window settings over and over and over again. This other stuff is too complicated for me for a simple reference dimension.
