Datapage+ & GD&T

OK, I posted this a while back and still haven't found the solution, so I thought I'd try again. I have datapage+ version 2011. The problem is, any GD&T callouts created using exact measure are not picked up by Datapage. It will only grab legacy dimensions...wondering if this is a setting somewhere? I've been told Datapage should be gathering info regardless of method used to generate it....Thx

    I know the latest version of Datapage+ does pick up the Exact FCF dimensions. I don't remember too much from 2011 as I consider the software was still beta at this time so I didn't use it too much (it was better than 4.1 for sure!).

    Since you are running an older version of Datapage+ I assume you also have an older version of PC-DMIS. If you *only* have the option to use the external command to read the data (i.e. your version of PC-DMIS didn't support the Datapage+ stats/on command) maybe it is doing this by design? Maybe it can't read the older versions properly? For this version of Datapage+, regardless of the version of PC-DMIS, you should probably stick to the external command method as there were too many problems with the other method.

    Edit: As mentioned above, Make sure the output is toggled to "BOTH" OR "STATS"

    One thing you can check to isolate the source of the problem is to look at the raw XML stats files created by the DatapageStats external command. If it contains Exact FCF dimension data than the problem is with Datapage+ and if it is missing then the problem is with either the version of PC-DMIS or something related to the DataPageStats program. At least you will know what to focus on.
