Assign Input Issue

[blackwater]

I have a family of parts where only the overall width changes. I use input comments and assignments to solve this issue so I only need one program. However, our ISO requires a setup sheet and the program to have the same revision level as the drawing. For whatever reason the revision levels vary on the prints.

Any idea how I can resolve this?

I tried useing assignments in the external command at auto save options but that did not work.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Use comment/input/yes to have operators input the part # and revision level every time they start the program. This will get the info on the report that I think you are needing.

I believe v3.7 you can assign these values to tracefields then have them report to your front page via editing the elogo.dat file. You will have to do a search in help. I'm almost certain this is possible but I've been in 4.0+ for awhile :P

C1 =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,' Part Number'
C2 =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,' Revision'
C3 =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,' ADCN'
C4 =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'OPCCP/OMPS/OPSP/PDS'
C5 =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,' W/O'
C6 =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,' S/N'
C7 =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,' Part ID'

If I remember correctly, v3.7 defaults your Rev at the top left corner. I'm not sure I would want it reporting two revs by using comments. I guess you can delete the REV there and use comments if you want.

Thanks for the responses,
My issue is not the input comments for the report but I have to open a setup sheet with the correct rev. level. I tried to use an input for the part number and an assignment within the external command but this did not work


C6 =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,Enter part number
ASSIGN/V1 = C6.INPUT
C1 =COMMENT/YESNO,NO,Do you Wish to See Set Up Sheet?
IF/C1.INPUT == "YES"
EXTERNALCOMMAND/DISPLAY ; F:\QC\SETUPSHEETS\V1.BAT
END_IF/
LOADPROBE/SM25-1-4X40X1

You need seomething like this -

TIP/T1A0B0, SHANKIJK=0, 0, 1, ANGLE=0
CB =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,'Which File (1 or 2)'
EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; "C:\PROGRAM FILES\WAI\PC-DMIS V43R\DON_0"+ CB.INPUT +".BAT"

Which, in your case, might look like this -

C6 =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,Enter part number
ASSIGN/V1 = C6.INPUT
C1 =COMMENT/YESNO,NO,Do you Wish to See Set Up Sheet?
IF/C1.INPUT == "YES"
EXTERNALCOMMAND/DISPLAY ; "F:\QC\SETUPSHEETS\" + V1 + ".BAT"
END_IF/

In other words, since you are building a string with concatenations, you need to use quotation marks to identify the fixed strings, and distinguish them from the variable.

So the problem is to add the correct revision level to an setupsheet external file?

This setupsheet, is it a text file or a WORD document?

Is this what you try to do: if partnumber is XXXX then rev level rrr needs to automatically appear in your setup sheet. So if partnumber = XXXX then revLevel = rrr. Correct? The trick is how to pass rrr into the document. And it will be important to know what the format your setupsheets are in.

Keep the program that you use now but make copies that are compliant for the auditors when they come around.

C6 =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,'Enter part number' (\2013035) This is what I have to input to make this work. \ this slash has to be part of the input ASSIGN/V1 = C6.INPUT
C1 =COMMENT/YESNO,NO,Do you Wish to See Set Up Sheet?
IF/C1.INPUT == "YES"
EXTERNALCOMMAND/DISPLAY ; "G:\QC\SETUPSHEETS" + V1 + ".BAT"
END_IF/

Thanks this works great.

Now can I write a similar scipt within the auto Print\Save so this will save to the proper folder

Look at the assignment this works better

The problem is to confirm that the setup sheet for the CMM program has the same rev.# as the print in hand and the CMM program. Since this program is not named as the part # rather the drawing name I will use this script to search for the proper setup sheet.
