Manual Inspection

[Lonnie.Cady]

I have a couple of questions and comments about the manual inspection.  I know it is in preview and not 100% ready but thought we would try it out.

One thing I am not seeing why there is a difference between Error and Deviation shown in the below image.

Can someone delete this post.   I had some screen shots and questions but when I submitted it I got an invalid html error and it cut the post off.

Hi @Lonnie.Cady 

Deviation is the amount the measured results is different to the nominal value.
Error is how far the measured value is out of tolerance.

So if you have 50mm ±0.1 as a nominal and tolerance.

A measured value of 50.15 will have a deviation of 0.15 and a error of 0.05.

A measured value of 50.08 will have a deviation of 0.08 and a error of 0.0 as it is within tolerance.

I cant delete your post but feel free to add the screenshots in another post.

Hello @Richard.stubley 

I understand the error and deviation. The below screen shots may be indicating a bug.

So when I record the inspection I get the below screen shot.  In this case the error should be zero????  Not sure where .00028" is coming from.

If I edit the recorded inspection I get this.

The error is now zero as expected but the tolerance seems to be converted to metric.  

Are there any plans to offer more than bilateral tolerances?   There are may different combinations that are needed.

+/-.0005

+.0000/-.00005

+.0005/-.0000

+.0003/+.0005

-.0005/-.0009

-.0003/+.0005

Any plans to allows us to customize the template?  Maybe some sort of template builder are the ability to at least select what columns we want displayed.

Hi @Lonnie.Cady

Thank you for showing this, this is something we know about and have fixed for an upcoming update. 
Bi lateral tolerances will also be coming soon.

As far as a report template you can edit this is on the road-map but it is behind a few other times we want to sort/add first.

Thank you for using manual measure and please let us know the more you use it and what you think.
