Typing a response in report

[Calvin.Korver]

I want to be able to type in an answer to a question in the report.
Ex. Was part measured before or after coating?
or
Ex. type in material alloy
or a number of yes or no questions

I know about the manual Keyin Dimension, but I don't think I can type words into that.

Ok, never mind I actually found it.

If you make a comment you can choose Input or Yes-No.
Make sure you check the box to have it display on the report.

For yes or no question, that is the way to go.

There are also Input comments where the can type other answers. You can ask, "What did dimension xxx measure with shadowgraph?" Then you can you can display the input in the report., or you can create a generic feature with that dimension and dimension it with tolerance.

Below is a basic code. This should get you started, if you need any clarification/want to get more or less fancy with it, let me know and we can tweak it in for you.

C1 =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
Was part measured before OR after coating?

Type correct response and press OK.

1--> Before Coating

2--> After Coating
SELECT/C1.INPUT
CASE/1
ASSIGN/V1="Part was measured before coating"
COMMENT/REPT,
V1
END_CASE/
CASE/2
ASSIGN/V1="Part was measured after coating"
COMMENT/REPT,
V1
END_CASE/
DEFAULT_CASE/
COMMENT/OPER,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
Invalid input, try again!
GOTO/C1
END_DEFAULTCASE/
END_SELECT/

From DAN_M idea :

C1 =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
Was part measured before OR after coating?

Type correct response and press OK.

1--> Before Coating

2--> After Coating

IF/C1.INPUT==1
ASSIGN/V1="before"
END IF
IF/C1.INPUT==2
ASSIGN/V1="after"
END IF
COMMENT/OPER,[COLOR=#ff0000]YES[/COLOR],FULL SCREEN=NO,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,...........................Yes in red allows displaying on the report...
"Part was measured " + V1 + " coating"

Alright! Thanks, guys I had something that would work, but your way looks quite a bit more professional.

There's plenty of ways to get from A-Z with PC DMIS! Glad we could help.
