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

  • I think I get what you are saying. You want a visual indicator that the max or min value is out of tolerance even if the measured value is in tolerance.

    I don't know of a setting for that. It would be nice if there were an option to make the text blue or something so you can glance at a report and know that there is a potential issue like that. I looked over the help files as best I could, but didn't find any settings for what you want. I even looked into ways to edit the label/report templates to maybe change the display behavior, but it doesn't look like an easy task - not that I'm all that skilled at messing with those, so maybe it is easier than I think.

    My first thought would be the workaround that you already use. Reporting the Max and Min values individually. I'm sure that is a pain to do, but it has the advantage of giving you separate report items if you do any sort of SPC database stuff or process improvement studies. It will give you more data points to consider.

    Something you may also consider is to make a basic script that you can run at the end of a measuring routine that would go through all the report features in the measuring routine and list any that are have max/min values that are out of spec. It would be tricky to add that information to the report, but you could at least have a text box open up with a notice to look closer at some features. Just a thought - maybe it could lead to better thoughts.

    How are you currently using assignments to report he max/min values? I have a vague idea of how I would do it, but since you have already done the work, please share.
