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

Sure, this is how I use assignments, but is a PITA to do for dozens of internal and external turned features (at least not required by customer for drilled holes):

That does look like a PITA. I can't think of a way to make it much easier.

Another thought is that you might consider using a size dimension in addition to a location dimension. If you do that, the location dimension would be the reported diameter using whatever fit method you selected when the feature was measured (ex: Leas Squares). The size dimension (assuming you are using ASME standard) will give you the max diameter and minimum diameters. Here is an excerpt from the help file:



What you will find is that the max diameter and min diameter aren't exactly the same as would be reported in a location dimension. A hole for example will have the maximum diameter (UAME) reported as a maximum inscribed diameter and the minimum diameter (Local Size) will be either the largest circumscribed diameter or the largest opposed points diameter (largest diameter you would find if you measure with a 2 point gage like a caliper). Personally, I think this is better then using the max and min values from a location dimension, but it can be confusing for some people reading the report if the max value is out of tolerance in the location dimension but barely in tolerance when using the Local Size reporting options. You can avoid that confusion by omitting the MAX and MIN columns from the report.

If you prefer to stick to legacy reporting. You can achieve basically the same thing by constructing a maximum inscribed circle and Minimum circumscribed circle from all the points in a measured circle and report those circle diameters separately. This is still no easier that what you are already doing, but it is something to consider. If nothing else, maybe my mentioning it will help someone else with whatever difficult requirements their customers have.
