Reference Dimension How To

Zeros
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?

  • An alternative approach is to design a report label for this - make a copy of LEGACY_DIMENSION.LBL, remove the tolerances and graph from the label, save as REFERENCE_DIMENSION.LBL.

    Then you just right click on the dim in the report window, select "Change template..." and select your REFERENCE_DIMENSION.LBL. You still have to set a large tolerance to avoid red-coloring of the text (that can also be fixed, but I don't know exactly how).

    Edit: I see now that I forgot to remove the OUTTOL column, but you get it anyway, right?)

    It's not really complicated. Creating the label is a one-time job. After that, the actual work to use it is a right click in the report window...
