#### Dimension Output Format

This command controls the PC-DMIS dimension output format. To change the format, select the desired Format check box(es).

Available Formats: | Description
Nominal | Displays the nominal value for all dimensions.
Tolerance | Displays the tolerance values for all dimensions.
Measured | Displays the measured value for all dimensions.
MaxMin | Displays the max and min values for all dimensions.
Deviation | Displays the deviation value for all dimensions.
Out of Tol | Displays the out of tolerance value for all dimensions.
Dev Angle | Displays the deviation angle on the Position dimensions.

When switching from box tolerancing to position (and back), it is important to check the format for correctness. | PC-DMIS offers the same print formats for box tolerancing and positioning tolerancing, although their columns will look slightly different due to additional columns for position dimensions. Example: When tolerancing the distance between two lines with the Max/Min check box selected, PC-DMIS will calculate the distance between the two points that were furthest apart or the two points that were closest together. It would then choose the worst case (most out of tolerance) of the two. If the Max/Min check box is not selected, PC-DMIS will calculate the dimension without displaying the Max/Min value.

PC-DMIS will indicate the order of the output selection by displaying a number to the right of the check box. This allows you to alter the order of the format to meet individual needs. A check box can be cleared simply by selecting it a second time.

The Edit window command line for this option reads:

FORMAT/TEXT,OPTIONS,HEADINGS,SYMBOLS, SD; "DIMENSION OUTPUT"

DIMENSION OUTPUT = The format of the output will be based on the order of selection. The default output will display the entire selection, in the order indicated.
