extensions
from specific vendor environments.PC-DMIS can import generic DMIS files and DMIS routines
created using extensions
from specific vendor environments.
To import a DMIS routine file, follow these steps:
Select File | Import | DMIS to open the Import dialog box.
From the file type list, select the file type that filters the current folder. If you select Chorus DMIS Files or DMIS Files, you can choose to import a .dmi, .dms, or .dmis file.
Chorus NT programs follow the DMIS 3.0 Standard with extensions and are better managed. In most cases, you should choose Chorus DMIS Files over normal DMIS Files. For notes on how to translate ChorusNT DMIS files into a PC-DMIS measurement routine, see "ChorusNT to PC-DMIS Translation Notes".
From the Import dialog box, navigate to the folder that contains the file to import. Then select the file.
Click Import to import the file into the Graphic Display window. A progress bar appears and indicates the progress.
PC-DMIS makes a first-pass translation of the input file. Once it completes this pass, the DMIS Import Setup dialog box appears. You can use this dialog box to select many options that are useful during the actual import phase.
Select the necessary options from the DMIS Import Setup dialog box. For information on how to use this dialog box, see the topics below.
Click OK. PC-DMIS finishes the importation process.
PC-DMIS inserts an RMEAS/LEGACY command into the imported measurement routine. You can modify the DMISRmeasImport entry to change the default value for RMEAS commands on future imported DMIS files. For information on this command, see "Setting Up Relative Measure (RMEAS)".
