I did a quick search for this topic and didn't come up with any results, so figured I'd post and see what I can find. Is there a way to report a feature as a reference dimension in PC-DMIS? I want to be able to track certain data or results, but don't want them to show pass or fail, and don't want a tolerance assigned, just a reported value.

Insert -> Parameter change -> Dimensions -> Dimension format
This will add a line of code that you can F9 and check the boxes of whatever columns you want in the order you click them. This will apply to all following dimensions until you add a new format.

Yes. Before reporting the dimension, press F10 and uncheck everything that you don't want (tolerance, max min, etc). Then report the dimension. You will want to assign a high tolerance in the feature box to keep the reference dimension from showing up red on the report.153010 Global Advantage w/ LSPX1H_T Analog Probe

If you are wanting the dimensions in the program but not in the report, change your report output to "none" on said dimensions.
Code:From this: OUTPUT=BOTH or OUTPUT=STATS or OUTPUT=REPORT To this: OUTPUT=NONE

You can also add the dimension as a comment. If it is directly from a feature, like a diameter, use this:
Code:COMMENT/REPT, CIR1.D
If you need a dimension, like a distance between features, set the output to NONE and then use something like this:
Code:COMMENT/REPT, DIST1.M.MEAS
You can add whatever text you want as another report comment or another line of the comment. You can't add it directly to the same line as the dimension without using variables like this:
Code:ASSIGN/V1="CHAR 1 = "+DIST1.M.MEAS COMMENT/REPT, V1

by Max TastyHi all,
Is there a way to cut and paste all the dimensions in a report and put them at the end? I've inherited a lot of programs with dimensions...-
