Point maps - REDUX

[Chugger]

Good morning.

I have been trying to format our output reports to generate a point map diagram of the out of tolerance items. The basic tact that I have taken is to generate a viewset of the points that make up the different feature sets.

I have then constructed an If statement as:

DIM PRF_52= PROFILE OF SURFACE OF SET FS_52  FORMANDLOCATION  UNITS=IN ,$
GRAPH=OFF  TEXT=ON  MULT=10.00  OUTPUT=BOTH
AX   NOMINAL     +TOL       -TOL       MEAS        MAX        MIN        DEV      OUTTOL   
M       0.000      0.020      0.020      0.000      0.000      0.000      0.000      0.000 -#-
            IF/PRF_52.OUTTOL <> 0.000
            RECALL/VIEWSET,FS_52
            DISPLAY/METAFILE, "", CAD
            FORMFEED/
            END_IF/ 

The plan is to evaluate the dimension statement; recall the viewset if the dimension is out of tolerance; capture the viewset to the report; formfeed to the next item and repeat as needed. This would be really handy for our rework cycle as the Finishers would be able to see which point was out of tolerance and where the rework would need to take place.

My problem is that the once I generate the DISPLAY/METAFILE, "", CAD in my IF statement, the graphic stays hardcoded into the report, even if the item is in tolerance.

Where am I fouling up or is this one of the "charms" of PC-Dmis. BTW, I am doing this in 3.7 MR3.

Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

Please find it out in the attachment!

But mine is the 4.1 version. Maybe there's some difference. If it does not work please let me know. May it can help you.

I understand that I am able to that on a location but that fix does me no good in this situation. What I need to know is why the IF statement does not work as formatted. Perhaps it won't work at all. I was hoping that someone could look at the coding and evaluate my approach.

MAybe if you took the less then sign out

This works as coded, make sure you are looking at the View Last Execution Report Mode, and not the standard Report Mode view. The report mode view will never look at flow control commands.

If you are looking at the right report screen, check Reset Global Settings When branching. Display/Metafile isnt listed as a global setting, but ya never know. Also, if all else fails stick a breakpoint in there and make sure the cursor is jumping over the display command.

This works though, and a pretty cool idea at that. I can see a very sharp use of this in the 4.0+ rule trees with the new interactive analysis window.

ahhhhh.... Last execution mode. I ALWAYS forget that. I'll give it a shot. Thank you!

So, is this resolved?

I may have to play with some of this myself this morning...
