Order of dimensions?

Tested
I'm trying to get the datapage out put to come out in the same order as the PC DMIS out put but have not found a method that works yet has anyone found a method that works?

I've tried many things but when I have multiple features like a diameter 10 places. Item321a, Item321b, Item321c it can't put these in order with the rest of the dimensions.

    Make a variable set. When you save the data to Datapage, it makes a variable set called MEAS_ORDER, this will be the same order as the dimensions sent to Datapage. It will ALWAYS be in the order as the last data sent for that part.

    OR, using DPEditor, you can make your own variable sets and output it in anyway/order you see fit. If you do NOT select a variable set when making a report/chart, it will use the ALPHA-NUMBERIC sorting, there is a drop-down in the report/chart dialog box where you can select a variable set.

    There has to be a better way to go about this.

    There is EASY and there is HARD. The variable set that is MADE each and every time you send data to Datapage is called MEAS_ORDER. Nothing for you to do, it will report in the order the dimensions were sent to Datapage. What's not easy about the easy method? If you make a MEASUREMENT REPORT in Datapage, using the MEAS_ORDER variable set (the one you do NOT have to create), the report will look all-but identical to the old-style Pcdmis reports.
  • I agree with Matt, MEAS_ORDER is extremely easy.
  • Another way is to create a Macro.

    But yeah, easist way is MEAS_ORDER.
