Slide 22

Ways to Customize a Report Right click in the text section of a report and select: 1. “Edit Object” to specify what data is to be included in the report (e. g. Features, Alignments, etc. ) 2. “Duplicate Page” to make a copy in the Report Window of the current page 3. “Add Object on Page / Section Cut Profile” to add a cut-away view of the CAD model 4. “Add Object on Page / Custom Label” to add a label to the page based on a selected label template 5. “Remove Object Modifications” to Undo modifications to an object Slide 23

Ways to Customize a Report 6. Right click on a label and select “Edit Object” to specify what data is to be included in a label 7. Right click on a label and select “Change Template” to change the formatting of that data 8. Right click on a CAD label and select “Hide Selected Labels” to make the label not visible 9. Right click on a CAD image that has hidden labels and select “Show Hidden Labels” to make the hidden labels visible 10. Double-click on a CAD image to modify the zoom and orientation of the image Slide 24

Ways to Customize a Report 11. Double-click on a CAD label to reposition the label 12. Right click on a CAD image and select “Edit Object” to access the Label Layout Wizard 13.

Standard Report Templates • Questions: 1. What happens if I delete a report template that I have set as my default for a part program? – If the report template is not found, “default. rtp” is used. If it is not found, PC-DMIS creates it. It is a Text. Report. Object with no rules. 2. What happens if I modify my report template? – Whenever you click the Redraw button in the Report Window, or when you run the part program, PC-DMIS will notice that the report template has been updated and will use that updated report template. – This is a VERY handy feature!

Creating a Report Template • Sections • Ability to divide a report into sub-reports • Each sub-report acts as if it has its own separate report template • Sections print out in the order that they are defined • Data is made available to all sections based on two properties: • Command Set • Maximum Number of Pages • Rules determine if section displays the data Slide 80

Creating a Report Template • Sections • Possible Report Outline: • Cover sheet • Title page • Summary Report • Detailed data section Slide 81

Creating a Report Template Section properties Properties that control data selection Right click to add a section Section name Multi-section report Slide 82

New Section Properties All Commands - The setting will process the entire command set in the current section (Page tab). This is the default value. Continue from Previous Section - This setting continues to process the command set from the previous section, continuing where the Defines the Maximum Number of Pages that will use the design of the current last section stop processing. Page tab in the report. Same as Previous Section - This setting will cause the section For example, if you set this value to 2, but you have easily enough dimensions in (Page tab) to take exactly the same command set as the previous section. your part program to fill five pages, the section will not process commands once The head section and all subsequent sections with this setting will form a the number of pages for that section reaches the specified maximum of two mini-group. All subsequent sections in the mini group will create one page with the head pages. The current process command will need a newly created section (Page tab) in order to display additional information. The default value of 0 means there is no maximum and so all pages will be Slide 83 displayed.

Example 1 of "Command Set" & "Maximum Number of Pages" In the following examples suppose that your report template has four sections named A, B, C, and D and that each contains a Text. Report. Object. Additionally, suppose that your part program has enough dimensions to display three pages of dimensions per section. Section Max. # of Pages Command Set A 0 All Commands B 0 All Commands C 0 All Commands D 0 All Commands PC-DMIS would display the pages in the final report like this: A 1, A 2, A 3, B 1, B 2, B 3, C 1, C 2, C 3, D 1, D 2, D 3 Slide 84

Example 2 of "Command Set" & "Maximum Number of Pages" In the following examples suppose that your report template has four sections named A, B, C, and D and that each contains a Text. Report.

Rules about Rules Rule Tree Rules Slide 108 • Can have multiple rules per command • Can be applied unconditionally or conditionally • A rule can put out text directly or provide information based on the format of a label template • Can use conditional expressions using the Reporting Expression Language • Can use a text expression using the Reporting Expression Language • You can specify an initial grid format (label template) • You can specify order that the rules are applied • Parent node rule applies to a child node only if the child node has no rule

Slide 109

Report Expression Language • See the Help File • Table of Contents • PC-DMIS 4 Core Help File • Reporting Measurement Results • Creating Custom Reports • About Report Expressions • See the Edit Window • Pop-up can provide data type name used in report expressions • Report Expression Language can also be used in properties Slide 110

Report Expression Language From Help: THEO_X Slide 111

Typical Report Language Expressions =ID - This displays the feature or dimension ID. =DIM_MEASURED: N - This displays a dimension's measured value. What is “N”? =UNIT_TYPE - This displays the unit of measurement for the feature or dimension. =LOADSTR - This loads a string from a table of stored strings within PCDMIS. =AXIS: N - This displays the current axis name (XAXIS, YAXIS, or ZAXIS). The “N” =NOMINAL: N - This displays the nominal data for a feature. expression evaluates =F_PLUS_TOL: N - This displays a feature's plus tolerance. to the current =F_MINUS_TOL: N - This displays a feature's minus tolerance. iteration value of a =DIM_OUTTOL: N - This displays the out of tolerance value for a repeating row or dimension. column. =DIM_MAX: N - This displays the maximum possible in-tolerance upper value for a dimension. =DIM_MIN: N - This displays the minimum possible in-tolerance lower value for a dimension. Slide 112

Report Expression Language There are four areas where you can insert report expressions: 1) The Rules Tree Editor in the Conditional Expression and Text Expression boxes. 2) The Grid. Control. Object in its grid cells. 3) The Grid. Control. Object in the Repeat Expression box in the Row tab for repeat expressions. 4) Property Sheet Values on edit fields or combo boxes that take text values. Slide 116

X controls ship with PC-DMIS • If used to reflect an individual dimension, use in a Label Template • Active. X controls have 2 sets of properties • Properties common to all Active. X controls • e. g.

Creating a Custom Report Empty list shows no assigned rules for this command Click to show all label templates What about commands for which there are no rules? Slide 146 A File / Open dialog allows you to select Label Template

Rules About Rules • Like Templates, Custom Reports use a Rule Tree to determine what Label Templates should be used in your report. • A default set of rules is automatically included, so you only need to change the default rules if you want your data formatted differently. • A blank custom report defaults to Text. Only. RUL in the root directory • CADReport. Object uses CAD. RUL in the root directory • Label Object is only a container and does not have a rule tree. You will be prompted for a Label Template Slide 147

Extra Drag ‘n Drop Features While performing the drop of a command (such as a feature or dimension), if you hold down the SHIFT or CTRL keys and you release the button, PCDMIS does the following: • SHIFT key - PC-DMIS will insert a Command. Text. Object for that item. • CTRL key - PC-DMIS will display an Open dialog box allowing you to select a different label template for the item. Slide 148
