Start PC-DMIS.
Select File | New to create a new measurement routine. The New Measurement Routine dialog box appears.
Type a new measurement routine file name and other information as needed.
Click the OK button to close the dialog box and have PC-DMIS open the Probe Utilities dialog box.
In the Probe Utilities dialog box, click the Cancel button to close it.
Select File | Import and choose the appropriate input data type (DIMS, AVAIL, or MMIV ) and show the Open dialog box.
In the Open dialog box, select the correct file. If it was saved with a .DIM / .LLF*.* extension, PC-DMIS automatically displays all available files with the appropriate extension. If necessary, change to the correct directory.
Click the Import button. If CAD data already exists for your measurement routine, you can choose to either Merge or Replace the existing CAD data with the imported CAD data. The Choose Translation Option dialog box appears with these translation options:
Translate main routine and all called subroutines into one DIMS measurement routine.
Translate specified file only. Include subroutine calls but do not translate subroutine files.
Translate main routine and called subroutines into separate DIMS measurement routines.
Select one of the available translation methods.
Click the OK button (or press the Enter key).
PC-DMIS translates the DIMS/AVAIL/MMIV data and returns to the measurement routine.
For each TOOLCHANGE, you are prompted to select a PC-DMIS probe file.
For each TIPCHANGE, you are prompted to select a PC-DMIS probe.
Your measurement routine is now ready to run in PC-DMIS.
When importing an AVAIL measurement routine that contains an IFTEST keyword or a GOTO/LABEL command inside of a feature block, or an MMIV measurement routines containing a BRANCH/TEST keyword or a BRANCH/LABEL command inside of a feature block, PC-DMIS moves its respective IF and GOTO commands before the feature block.
