PC-dmis V4 Feature control dimensions & data page

[david phillips]

trying out V4.
Features toleranced true position feature control frame data not transfering to data page 3.33. (OUTPUT=Both)

What did I forget to do?

You forgot that almost everyone agrees v4.0 is no good. Are you using 4.0 or 4.1?

I have had this also before. One of my TP features did NOT make it into the XSTATS11.TMP file and consequently not into DATAPAGE. The others did.

I fixed it by deleting that specific problematic dimension and re-enter it from scratch. That fixed it for me. I reported this bug to Hexagon, but unfortunately, I did NOT keep a copy of the "BAD" file, so I could NOT reproduce for Hexagon what had gone wrong. So this bug report did go nowhere.

Please save your problem file under another name (so the "bad" file is salvaged). Open the problem file again and fix it. If this fixes it, you are left with 2 files doing the same thing, but one is defective (the original; it does NOT send the dimension on) and one works (the one with the re-created dimension). If you could forward both files to Hexagon help, they may be able to find the problem.

This is a real bug and hopefully your program can get this resolved!

I can also confirm this is a bug in v4.1

The report showed everything I needed, but after further investigation we figured out that the Dimension stats in the new true position dimensions were not getting to the XSTATS11 file, and therefore never going to Datapage.

In the end I've never got them to upload to Datapage correctly, but maybe you might get lucky by reentering them.

You can also try the legacy dimension option if all else fails.
