MAX or MIN not shown in red, only if MEAS is OOT

Is this a software bug or is there a setting that can be changed so that they appear in red when it is either the maximum or minimum of a dimension OOT?

Thanks

  • Have you tried increasing the decimal places displayed? Put the following command in your code BEFORE the dimension in question

    DISPLAYPRECISION/6

    This will make the software show 6 decimal places for everything after this line of code. What it sounds like to me is you are not showing enough decimal places and what you are seeing is rounding error.

    As an example, say you have a feature requirement of Ø.5000 ±.0010 and you are only displaying 4 decimal places, and say that the measured value is .49995. With only 4 decimals displayed, this will show up as .5000 on your report (because .49995 will round up to .5000 when displayed as 4 decimal places) and the color of the dimension will show it as in tolerance because .49995 <=.50000. Now, say the part measures .50004, this will also display as .5000 on the report due to rounding, but now the dimension will be red because the measured value is .00004 over the high limit.
