Standard Report Templates • Questions: • What happens if I delete a report template that I have set as my default for a part program? • If the report template is not found, “default.rtp” is used. If it is not found, PC-DMIS creates it. It is a TextReportObject with no rules. • This is similar to Text Mode Dimension Report • What happens if I modify my report template? • Whenever you click the Redraw button in the Report Window, or when you run the part program, PC-DMIS will notice that the report template has been updated and will use that updated report template. • This is a VERY handy feature!
