CAD Info: Can it be automated?

[John Riggins]

I am setting up some standards for our CMM programs and one of the requirements will be to include posting the CAD source file at the top of the report.

I can do this manually by VIEW/CAD INFO/COPY/PASTE into a report comment.

What I am hoping is that there is a way to automatically grab this info.

It would be real handy since we are working on developing parts and the CAD is getting updated often.

Any ideas?

Yes, in the edit options not the parameters click on CAD ID's or something like that.

No,
as far as i know there's no way to get the information in an automated way!

I think Paul talking about "use CAD provided ID" ; I am hoping too is that there is a way to automatically grab this info .

That would be nice if there was. Imagine the time it would save
