Scan profile

Is it all possible to set settings somewhere in PC DMIS to be able to see your scan line along with the upper / lower tolerance. I have a customer that is requesting a printout of the scan form for a die and they want to see our scan with the upper and lower tolerance line also showing. ALL three must be visible.

It would be great if someone could help!!!

In the dimension, turn on the GRAPH. It should show all that.

Of course, it might be hard to see, so you can use a multiplier, both the deviation and the tolerance band will be multiplied so you can see it all easier.

Okay thank you. Yeah the problem is, the tolerance is only .0004 total. ± .0002. Hopefully this will work

Will I have to create two separate profiles @ .0002 for a total tolerance of .0004. I tried it and I am only getting two lines, 1 the scan and 2 one of the tolerances. Not getting all three

Try REPORTGRAPH=FORM or REPORTGRAPH=BOTH (depending on your callout) in the dimension then refresh the report.

Sounds to me like you want to use the "Analysis view" function. It is in the Insert=>Report menu. Look through the various options in the pull down menus of that feature and you will find options to turn the tolerance lines on, display min/max deviations, etc. If the tolerance lines don't display correctly in the analysis view then it is a big red flag that you probably don't have them defined correctly in the dimension.

Sounds great. I will try these options. I was out of the office yesterday (6/25/14). I am going to try them today.
