Dimension Name & Feature Name in one?

Hi everyone,

I run into little problem with DataPage.
I'm exporting data from Pc-Dmis V4.3 to Datapage 3.33 with Feature Names selected. For some reason my keyed in dimensions report as Emptyfeat.m
When i export using Dimension Names, my keyed ins are ok.
Is there any way to combine both into report without exporting to separate files? Am i missing something? I do need to use feature names as this is what customer wants.

I hope i explained it right.

Thank you.

    A KEYIN dimension has no feature. The only way to get a KEYIN into Datapage is to use DIMENSION ID's. You CAN, however, use INPUTS and put those KEYIN dimenisons into the INPUT, then use the INPUT into a generic feature, then dimension the generic feature.

    Thank you for quick reply.
    I tried input and it seems to work fine. It is a little extra work but achieves what i need.
    One question.
    What effect would it have if i were to leave it in the program?
    Will the machine try to measure if i leave the coordinates of the feature @ 0,0,0? Will the program generate an error?
    I have never used generic features before.

    Thank you.

    NOPE, generic features are just like constructed features, more or less, they just exist.

    One thing about them, though, depending on HOW you make them, they may not always update when re-aligned. IF you enter just plain old numbers for the 'measured' values, they will sometimes 'stick' to the old alignment position. Using the variables does not appear to do this. NOMINALS values, those can be just typed in values, they work just fine, it is the measured values the sometimes stick and I think this is only in V3.7

    Thank you for your help and clarifying this for me.
    Now i can go home and enjoy the weekend knowing my reports are the way they should be.
    Happy halloween.

    Thank you.
