print IJK vector

[Randy P]

Can I show print out in report mode or show in the graphics window the IJK of a point other than printing out program?

[craiger_ny]

COMMENT/REPT,NO,FEAT1.I + "," + FEAT1.J + "," + FEAT1.K

Where FEAT1 is the feature whose I,J,K you wish to report.

You might be able to do it from the dimension location dialogue but I don't report point data so I have little experience there. If you can't do it as a dimension or don't want to the above code will work.

Select only measured
copy report and paste in to notepad
from notepade to excel

Oh yeah forgot to tell you, using my method you must have "show comments" checked on the report setup. That is what you want right for the I,J,K to be displayed in the report? I think Chikoo has me confused now. Maybe I have me confused.

Craig The best I can do is to do like Chikoo say and use Excel to seperate the program code.
I can't get your way to work? I can put I,J,K into a variable then to a comment.

[craiger_ny]

If you can get it into a variable and you can get the variable into a comment then I don't quite understand what is not working. Are you saying that the comment does not show in the report? If that is the case you need to have your reports display comments (it may be turned off). Also do you have operators in your feature names?

I just ran this code

DTM_A      =FEAT/PLANE,RECT,TRIANGLE
            THEO/1.8821,14.1795,-27.3904,0,0,1
            ACTL/1.882,14.1795,-27.3653,-0.0000683,-0.0004152,0.9999999
            MEAS/PLANE,4
            HIT/BASIC,NORMAL,1.1046,14.8292,-27.39,0,0,1,1.1046,14.8292,-27.3651,USE THEO = YES
            HIT/BASIC,NORMAL,2.6871,14.8294,-27.3908,0,0,1,2.687,14.8295,-27.365,USE THEO = YES
            HIT/BASIC,NORMAL,2.6872,13.5299,-27.39,0,0,1,2.6871,13.5299,-27.3655,USE THEO = YES
            HIT/BASIC,NORMAL,1.0495,13.5297,-27.3908,0,0,1,1.0493,13.5295,-27.3656,USE THEO = YES
            ENDMEAS/
            ASSIGN/AR_IJK = ARRAY(DTM_A.I, DTM_A.J, DTM_A.K)
            COMMENT/REPT,AR_IJK
            COMMENT/REPT,DTM_A.I + "," + DTM_A.J + "," + DTM_A.K

And both comments did return the measured I,J,K values in the report. Obviously the array requires one more line of code but character for character it may be less typing (I didn't count so I don't know). It works so you may have something going on.

In the dimension window select Textual analysis and it will report the IJK value with the XYZ values. Just report one of the axes.

OK its Monday I got rid of the NO statement and it works great. Thanks. Not sure which way to go yet, I've got 50 pts to show this on.

Sorry about the no. I copied and pasted that and it had that in it from pasting, I wasn't at the CMM when I replied. My bad.

Can't you just output "V"?
