Create labels

First, launch the command Settings in order to customize labels aspect. Select the label size long. Then, click OK.

Now launch the command Measure Deviation.

Then select the option Point on Selection in the software's central toolbar and click some points on the inspected mesh. Click, for example, areas with different colors (red, light blue, dark blue, green, yellow…).

As you can see in the label, there is a column with some "+" or "-" where the number of "+" or "-" tells you how far you are from the middle of the tolerance. A smile tells you that you are really in the middle of the tolerance. A "!" tells you that you are out of tolerance. Click OK to validate the measures.

Labels created from the 3D inspection

If you click many points, the function will automatically choose a smaller label size to make everything fit in your screen.

Edit labels

Select the label(s) you want to edit and launch the command Edit Label. You will be able to change tolerance, comments, etc. You can also set which elements you want to show or hide in the label thanks to the check boxes.

Create View Sets

If you want to add some views in the report, you have to create some view sets.

Show only the inspected mesh and one label, then go to View Set.

Now show all the labels, change the view and create a new view set.

Select the first view set you created in the tree (in the Other Objects folder). Do a right-click and select Show. It will restore this view and you should see only one label. Now do the same with the second view set. All labels are visible now.

Customize and export a report

Once you have created labels and/or view sets, you can edit a report. Note the labels have been created into Compare Inspect folder, next to the inspected they extract data from.

Launch Report Editor or launch the editor thanks to the magnifying glass corresponding to the report data. The chapter Compare Inspect has been automatically generated with the Template Library Settings.

First, define the layout properties using the Layout Panel (paper format, margins, orientation, header, footer and number of decimals). For this exercise, remove the cover chapter. You can add or remove unnecessary cells (refer to Template View). Note that while inserting an item into a cell, the report editor will make you some suggestions. Otherwise, you can select this data from the Data Panel or write it by yourself. When you insert a picture, the image size and ratio are always respected. Consequently, if you want to reduce the image size, you have to reduce the cell width.

• select the scene and set the mode on 3D to insert a 3D PDF in your report,

• select the table and filter the columns: show only id, Meas X, Meas Y, Meas Z, Ref X, Ref Y, Ref Z, Dev 3D, Tol- 3D and Tol+ 3D. Align the table to center thanks to the Options panel,

• optionally, insert another cell to display another scene (in 2D mode) using a view set previously defined, and

• click the “To PDF" button to create and display a report in .pdf format. Then, you can print the document as usual.
