Im looking to turn off the "upon file open, add random features to curves" option?

In other words everytime I open this program "PLN4" seems to get added to the every curve's feature list in the program which obviously makes everything go wonkie.

Since I have to use constructed curves does anyone know how to variablize the Feature List for a Constructed Feature? This way I can "lock down" which points to use for these features.

PLN4 was the last Constructed feature I added elsewhere in my program before saving it and going home for the weekend. So the bug might not be entirely random in nature, but it shouldnt be adding the last feature either.

I think: FeatureName.Hit[1..n] where is n is the number of hits.

Thanks, I gave that code a try. Does the same thing though.

I figured out that closing and opening the program does not matter. But it actually happens when you create new constructed planes, maybe other constructed features as well. My constructed plane is from a scan, not sure if that matters or not either. But I can reproduce this bug.

The bug does a couple things depending on where your inserting the new feature:

1. If you add a new plane before the Curve feature in the Code, It deletes the First point in every Curve in the Program and replaces it with the Newly Constructed Features name.

2. If you add a new plane after the a Curve feature it deletes the first point in every curve in the program but does not replace it with anything.

I need a way to check the feature lists of my curves to make sure they arent hosed up when the program executes, is there a way to do this?

Thanks again.

Lets get this straight - there are no bugs in pcdmis.

Hey, lets not forget these popular sayings also:

PCDMIS is the best software on the market today.

Its pricey, but you get what you pay for.

The SMA is worth every penny, in enhancements alone.

PCDMIS will import all your CAD without any problems.

PCDMIS will pay for itself in one year.

Our parts arent out of spec, its got to be the CMM program...
