Filters

(This item applies to the Edit Point Info dialog box, accessible through Insert | Report Command | Point Info).

Filters area

The Filters area allows you to set filter options that PC-DMIS uses when it displays individual point information.

None Used - This filter option tells PC-DMIS not to use any filtering for the POINTINFO command. All hits selected will be displayed with the POINTINFO command.

Hit Interval - This filter option checks the integer value in the box to its right, and only displays the particular hit interval chosen with the POINTINFO command. For example, if 2 were chosen, then every 2nd hit would be displayed, if 3, then every 3rd hit, if 4 then every 4th hit, etc.

Worst - This filter option checks the integer value in the box to its right, and only displays the hits that give the worst deviations for the dimension. For example, if you type 3 in the box, the POINTINFO command only displays the three worst deviations.

Deviation Above - This filter option checks the value in the box to its right, and only displays the hits that have deviations above the value in the box for the dimension. For example, if you type 0.1 in the box, the POINTINFO command only displays hits that have deviations above the value in the box.

Out of Tolerance - This filter option only displays the hits that have deviations that are out of tolerance. For hits related to features (not related to dimensions), only those hits with deviations larger than the Show Deviations Tolerance on the Setup Options dialog box's General tab are displayed. (See "Show Deviations Tolerance" in the "Setting Your Preferences" chapter.)

Min/Max - This filter option only shows those hits that are the maximum and minimum deviation values for the dimension. For an example of MaxMin values, see the "Parameter Settings: Dimension tab" topic of the "Setting Your Preferences" chapter.
