8 Angles Equal Withen 1 Degree

[parrottk]

I have a part with 8 angles they are to be equal withen 1 degree.
i think i need to use variables not sure.
cant figure out how to report it.
thanks

Its a friday morning and I was out last night so this is probably not the best method but it will work, I have added some sample code below as an example

Assign an array to the measured dimensions of your angles
Assign a variable to the max dimension of the array
Assign a variable to the min dimension of the array
Assign a variable to the max minus the min value,
Use an IF statement to write OUT OF TOLERANCE to your report if the difference is greater than 1
Use an ELSE statement to write IN TOLERANCE to your report if the difference is less than 1


ASSIGN/V1 = 1
ASSIGN/V2 = 2
ASSIGN/V3 = 3
ASSIGN/V4 = 4
ASSIGN/V5 = 5
ASSIGN/V2 = ARRAY(V1,V2,V3,V4,V5)
ASSIGN/V_MAX = MAX(V2)
ASSIGN/V_MIN = MIN(V2)
IF/V_MAX-V_MIN>1
COMMENT/REPT,OUT OF TOLERANCE
END_IF/
ELSE/
COMMENT/REPT,ALL ANGLES WITHIN 1 DEGREE OF EACHOTHER
END_ELSE/

Not brilliant but I am still working with a beer cloud in my brain

Thanks jon_dav_uk;
that did what i needed it to do.
not to be a pain in the a$$ but is it possable to have the comment in red if it is greater than 1 deg.?

I don't think so, but you could create a generic feature with the variable in it. You can do the same with keyed in dimension.
You also could use a COMMENT/OPER. That would put a comment window up telling the operator it was out. Many ways to deal with this, basically personal preference.
