True position for 4.0

[Daniel]

Does anyone know or have instruction on how to use the
true position with the new pc.dmis 4.0 ? The help is actually for pc.dmis
3.7 .Even the manual for 4.0 does not show on how to use it properly.

I have not used 4.0, and do not intend to, but I would be surprised if they changed the way you create a dimension with it all that much. I heard they were going to retool the way it used MMC when applied to a Datum, or at least give the user a chance to choose between the way it was done before 3.6 and the way it is now.

Can you be more specific about what you need help with?

[JamesMannes]

If you would like the dimensions reported the same way as in 3.7mr3 then go to INSERT>DIMENSION>USE LEGACY DIMENSIONS. This will give you the regular look that I think you want. The new method is a little invovled and would be better explained via compiled document. I will see what kind of time I've got today and see if I can throw something together.
Right now it's time for a bagel and coffee.

The Wilcox site has a lab you can pull at the following address

It's the first download on the list

I have an additional hand for the use of 4.0 but it's to large to attach. I would be happy to email should you want to get a hold of it.

Please e-mail your hand-out to me...

Slimvinn,

That link you have describes the 3.7 methodology. There is a totally new rascal introduced for 4.0 and up. This includes addition of a feature controlframe in your grapghics window and report. Plus TP describes the datum shift used for its computation of bonus, so unfortunately that is not a document for 4.0 and up.

Yeah, but he does say that he is actually 3.7 and depending on your familiarity with the DMIS it has some good info in it. I wanted to attach the pdf but its like 800k which is 4X the allowed.

I thought he might find it helpful. I should have described it a bit better.

[Slimvinn]

Even the pdf is bland. The Lab I emailed you and the file on 3.7 were handed out together in order to cover the changes in 4.0.

It may not be what you guys are looking for.
