## Using Inspection Plans in PC-DMIS

The following topics describe how to use the functionality added to PC-DMIS to automatically create a part program from your Inspection Plan (IP). To create your part program you need to do the following:

- Define PC-DMIS Planner Parameters and Rules.

- Import the Inspection Plan you exported from your CAD package.

- Perform an optimization step on the imported plan.

- Ensure that the probe won’t collide with the part by inserting proper move commands.

Once you have completed these simple tasks, you can then execute your imported Inspection Plan (IP) as a newly created PC-DMIS part program.

If you have problems using the PC-DMIS Planner commands inside PC-DMIS, ensure that there is an InsPlan.dll file located in the directory where you installed PC-DMIS.

PC-DMIS Planner Default File (IPD)

You must have a PC-DMIS Planner Default file, or (IPD) to import an IP into PC-DMIS. The "PC-DMIS Planner Parameters and Rules" topic provides more information on this file.

The IP Measure option must be enabled on your portlock to use the PC-DMIS Planner capabilities that are discussed in this section.
