Description

You can use the ToleranceCommand object to automate Geometric Tolerances commands inside of PC-DMIS.

Object Model

ToleranceCommand ObjectApplication ObjectCommand Object

Example

This short example shows how to read through and list the features and segments of a Geometric Tolerance command.
Example (Visual Basic)Copy Code
Dim DmisApp As Object
Dim DmisPart As Object
Dim Commands As Object
Dim Command As Object
Dim ToleranceCommand As Object
Dim i As Integer

Sub Main

  Set DmisApp = CreateObject("PCDLRN.Application")
  Set DmisPart = DmisApp.ActivePartProgram
  Set Commands = DmisPart.Commands

  For Each Command In Commands 
   If Command.IsToleranceCommand Then
      Set ToleranceCommand = Command.ToleranceCommand
      MsgBox ToleranceCommand.ID & " " & ToleranceCommand.SegmentCount & " " & ToleranceCommand.FeatureCount & " " & ToleranceCommand.SpecificationString
For i = 1 To ToleranceCommand.FeatureCount
   MsgBox ToleranceCommand.FeatureID(i) & " " & ToleranceCommand.DatumFosId(i)
Next i
      Set ToleranceCommand = Nothing
   End If
  Next Command 

Set Commands = Nothing
Set DmisPart = Nothing
Set DmisApp = Nothing
  
End Sub
The following script reads through the geometric tolerance commands in a PC-DMIS measurement routine and displays the information in message boxes. Geometric tolerance commands can have up to 5000 features referenced in up to five segments and can also include size information for both considered features and datum features. The first thing the script does is to list the ID (dimension name), the number of segments, and the number of features. It then lists all of the size information for all the features and datums. Next, it loops through all of the datum features associated with each segment. Finally, it loops through all of the considered features associated with each segment.
