JEFMAN Thanks for the list, and thanks to everyone at Hexagon that helped with this vast set of changes.

[neil.challinor]

Thanks JacobCheverie . Certainly in relation to the geometric tolerance command, me, Rob and his team have been pushing very hard to address as many issues as possible.

[vpt.se]

Still no spacebar fix, seems hard to kill, that bug.

(the spacebar acts as mouseclick even though a textbox has focus, you can try it by opening the comment dialog move the mouse cursor anywhere else outside the textbox and it will act as a mouseclick each time you hit enter - place the cursor on a radiobutton and it will get selected when you press space)

Bad UX, right there.

[rjurca]

I was curious about this so I have done some testing. In 2019R1 if I open the comment dialog. If I move the mouse over a radio button. It highlights and if I press the space bar it is selected. Starting with 2019R2 I cannot duplicate the behavior any longer. A space is add to the text box and the radio button is not selected.

[vpt.se]

I haven't seen it any of the readmes post 2019 R1, so I thought it had been forgotten...
Thanks for the testing rjurca !

[bfire85]

That's a list! Thanks Hexagon. I usually stay a year behind on releases, but this is impressive.

[cvelisetty]

Sure bfire85 Please give it a shot when you get time.

[Kp61dude!]

What script, bfire85?

[bfire85]

Kp61dude! Neil wrote a script that works specifically for my setup of exporting data for importing into our Plex ERP system.

[DeWain Hodge]

Now all I want is the new geometric tolerancing to work in text only reports.

[JacobCheverie]

It works just fine, doesn't it? Do you have a particular issue?

[vanwhyjr]

Has anyone had issues measuring a True Position using constructed Cylinders? I get an error saying it needs to be opposing points.

[JacobCheverie]

What does your error say exactly? I would also suggest you start a new thread so others can find this issue if they have it.

[vpt.se]

Sounds like everybody needs a run-down of what feature criterias are necessary in order to create datums or evaluate GD&T in 2020 R2.

[JacobCheverie]

It’s mostly spelled out in the help file, don’t you think? Maybe a link to it can be made a sticky thread?

[vpt.se]

Never looked in there, haven't installed 2020 R2 SP1 yet, mostly due to the GeoTol "constraints". I consider myself a fast learner and are all for GeoTol, but the rest of the programmers here gets confused if they must learn a different way of doing things...

[vpt.se]

The thread you started should be made a sticky JacobCheverie , unless the Hex guys plans to do something of their own.

[DeWain Hodge]

JacobCheverie here are screenshots of my report same part. One is legacy (attachment) the other is with the new geometric tolerancing.txt_2020r2_geo.JPG

[JacobCheverie]

First step: What does the top of your Report window say exactly - Is it C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hexagon\PC-DMIS\2020 R2\Reporting\TextOnly.RTP?

If not, follow the steps below.

Go to your C:/Program Files/Hexagon/ folder, go into the 2020 R2 version, and there should be a folder titled DefaultReportingTemplateBackup or something along those lines. Copy everything from the inside of that folder.

Go to your C:/Users/Public/Public Documents/Hexagon folder, find the folder for 2020 R2, and Paste (and overwrite) your clipboard contents into the Reporting folder.

Open PC-DMIS, redraw your report. At the top of the Report Window, use the Template Selection button. Press [Add...], navigate to the Public Documents/Hexagon/... folder, select the proper 2020 R2 version, and in the reporting folder (where you just pasted) select TextOnly.rtp. Click [Open] on the Template Selection dialog window. Refresh your report.

[SABarber]

It was decided that newer dimensions would not support the textual output and only use reporting labels.

[DeWain Hodge]

JacobCheverie here are screenshots of my report same part. One is legacy (attachment) the other is with the new geometric tolerancing.txt_2020r2_geo.JPG

I'm using the standard text only report template (edited header only). As SABarber says it was decided to only support the reporting labels even though several places I know of use the text only reports just like I do and are not going to want to upgrade to v2020 R2 for the same reason I'm thinking of rolling back to a version that will give me the reports the way I want them not how Hexagon in their infinite wisdom want to force me to have them.
