You can
manually enter measurements results into the CMM report as a comment line, then
automatically import them into CMM Data Import. This way, you can enter manual results
directly into the CMM output file or enter the manual results directly into Measurements
Input.
There are two formats to choose from.
Format 1
.ME Axis marker,Nominal Value,+Tolerance Value,-Tolerance
Value,Results
You define the M.E. Axis marker and
Delimiter in
Text Markers
settings.
Format 2
This format is based on the manual entry from CMM requirements for PPAP Creator.
[item ID, ME, measurement note, specification note, nominal, +tol, -tol,
actual]
You define the beginning marker, blueprint word, M.E. Axis, and End of file
markers in
Text Markers settings.
For example:
[ITEM 6,ME,,2
PLACES,2.00,0.5,0.5,2.03,2.18].
