### Tutorial - Using Scripting to Enhance your Report

This tutorial demonstrates some of the capability available in PC-DMIS Reporting when you couple it with the power of scripting.

Tutorial Overview: This tutorial will create a report template that displays a CADOnly type report, except that if the dimension is in-tolerance, a label template similar to Reference_ID.lbl is used. If it is out-of-tolerance, the Legacy_Dimension_CAD.lbl label template is used. Additionally, the Reference_ID.lbl-like label will use the dimension color for its background color.

A Sample Out-of-Tolerance Feature

A Sample In-Tolerance Feature

Note: This tutorial is not a complete solution since it will not cover needed modifications to labels used by Feature Control Frame (FCF) dimensions. For this to be a complete solution you may want to perform similar steps to FCF_Label.lbl so that your FCF dimensions follow the same pattern.
