    Min Max of a group of dimensions

    I have 30 pockets on a part that need width, length, parallelism,and perpendicularity checked on each pocket. However I only need to report the min and max for all 30. Is there a quick way to report the min and max on a group of dimensions other than exporting them to a spread sheet. I need to do this on 150 Parts.

    you could easily assign min/max of each pocket to variables, I'm not following if you want to report min/max for each pocket or only the smallest min and largest max value among all 30?

      I'm looking for the smallest min and the largest max of all 30

    to report two values, the smallest found and largest found among all 30 pockets, assign individual min/max to variables, use them to create an array and extract the min/max of the array

      Try this..

      Measure your stuff, report dimensions you need, capture those dimensions in an array, create a variable that finds the highest of each array, create a variable that finds the lowest of each array, assign the created variables to generic features (I chose circles) so the variables have somewhere to go, report the six circles. You can name your variables anything you want, I try to be pretty specific with my names so I can debug later if needed,

        I knew if I said array you would bring the code
    • #5
      You can automatically create arrays like this :

      Code:
      V1 =LOOP/START,ID=YES,NUMBER=30,START=1,SKIP=,
OFFSET:XAXIS=0,YAXIS=3,ZAXIS=0,ANGLE=0
ASSIGN/DIST_ARRAY[V1]="DIST"+V1+".MEAS"
LOOP/END
ASSIGN/DIST_MAX=MAX(DIST_ARRAY)

        Hi Jefman, I am really trying to learn this (creating the array through the use of a loop) but I keep trying it ant it isn't working. Can you please confirm that your syntax is 100% correct?
