1. Balloon and assign characteristic IDs on drawings or MBD screenshots.

2. Use Verisurf Automate or Report Manager to assign characteristic IDs that match ballooned drawings or MBD screenshots.

3. Enable CSV from Verisurf Report Manager, Settings, Database Settings, Database Report Type. Define the Database Directory by selecting Browse or pasting the desired file path.

      a. Users can check the box to Open DB Report if they’d like to review the CSV Report, but this option is not often checked.

      b. Users can create a Verisurf Report along with the Database Report by checking the box to Export Database in addition to primary report under Report Manager, Settings, 4. General Options, Additional Options.

The CSV Report containing the inspection results can be uploaded to Net-Inspect using their Measurement Collection Service.

Here is a link to a brief video from Net-Inspect that demonstrates the process of uploading CMM results.

Below is additional information regarding the CSV Report used with the Net-Inspect Measurement Collection Service.

Report Header Information

The following details are included in the report header:

Date: The date the report was generated.

Time: The time the report was generated.

Serial Number: The serial number of the part being inspected.

Part Name: The name of the part being inspected.

Part Number: The unique identifier for the part.

FAIR Number: The First Article Inspection Report number.

DWG #: The drawing number associated with the part.

Part ID: The unique identifier for the part.

Work Order #: The work order number associated with the inspection.

Inspector: The name of the person who conducted the inspection.

Feature Headers start at Row 7. Features start at row 8. Report header information can be customized (rare cases) for additional output rows. I do think we can program our loader to require the standard number of headers shown in the sample file.

Report Fields

This is the standard set of columns for the report, most users do not customize the columns in the output. Columns could be removed, but it is unlikely to happen. I say that we don’t need to customize the Net-Inspect loader to accommodate customization of the columns.

ID

Description: The Characteristic ID from the Bill of Characteristics or Feature number, as referenced by Doug.

TYPE

Description: The Feature Type such as Circle, Line, Plane, etc.

GROUP

Description: A folder created by a user in the Verisurf Database where the Feature is stored or placed for organizational purposes.

NAME

MEASURED

Description: The measured value of the feature.

NOMINAL

Description: The nominal value of the feature.

UPPER TOL

Description: The upper tolerance limit. For absolute tolerances such as Flatness, Parallelism, Perpendicularity, Position, etc., the tolerance value is placed in the UPPER TOL field.

LOWER TOL

Description: The lower tolerance limit. For absolute tolerances, the LOWER TOL field will be blank.

DEVIATION

Description: The deviation or difference between the measured value and the nominal value.

OOT

PERCENT

Description: The percent of the tolerance that has been consumed.

ANCHOR X Y Z I J K

Description: These fields are not often used. However, in 3D SPC applications, the ANCHOR X Y Z I J K can be used to place the information in a balloon at a specific location.
