(This item pertains to the check boxes on the General tab of the Setup Options dialog box. You can open it through the F5 key or through the Edit | Preferences | Setup menu option.)
The Use Automotive Deviation Letters check box causes PC-DMIS to add a letter after the deviation number in Location and Position dimension reports. PC-DMIS inserts the letter
F when the feature deviates in the direction of the front of the car.
B when the feature deviates in the direction of the back of the car.
I when the feature deviates towards the centerline of the car (meaning the car is too narrow).
O when the feature deviates away from the centerline of the car (meaning the car is too wide).
H when the feature deviates towards the top of the car.
L when the feature deviates towards the bottom of the car.

These letters are added to the Location and Position dimensions just following the deviation numbers reported. These deviation letters also appear inside the Report window for the appropriate dimensions.
