## Creating New Part Programs

If you don't have any existing part programs to open, then you must create a new part program using the New Part Program dialog box, accessible by selecting the File | New menu option.

New Part Program dialog box

Here you can create a new part. You will be prompted to enter a part name, serial number, revision number, interface type, and units of measurement type. The part is only in memory until you save the part. The CMM interface type is also chosen here.

Note: PC-DMIS only requires the Part Name box to have a value in order to create a new part program. Information entered in the Revision Number and Serial Number boxes is optional.
