CMM results bridge

PC-DMIS results to AS9102 Form 3 without retyping

The safest bridge is deliberately boring: export or write a CSV with the balloon number, measured result, method, and evidence reference, then import those values into the matching Form 3 rows for human review.

Column mapping

Do not start with every native PC-DMIS report variant. Start with a small results file that names the characteristic number already used on the ballooned drawing and Form 3.

CSV column Maps to Form 3 Review rule
Characteristic Number Field 5 Must match an existing Form 3 row.
PC-DMIS Dimension Additional Data / Comments Metadata for the original PC-DMIS dimension or feature name; do not use it for matching unless your balloon numbers also use that identifier.
Measured Result Field 9 Record the variable result in drawing units when the requirement is variable.
Method Additional Data / Comments Useful for CMM, caliper, fixture, or visual method notes.
Evidence Reference Additional Data / Comments CMM report name, run ID, or attachment pointer.
Import Note Additional Data / Comments Use for operator, serial, or setup comments that should not replace evidence.

Recommended workflow

  1. Balloon the drawing and create the Form 3 rows before importing results.
  2. Export selected PC-DMIS values into a CSV or write selected values with a small PC-DMIS routine.
  3. Import by characteristic number, not by row order.
  4. Review unmatched rows, duplicate characteristic numbers, blank results, and out-of-tolerance values.
  5. Verify only after the reviewer confirms the result and evidence reference.

Where Articul fits

Articul's CSV results import fills Form 3 result fields from a mapped CSV, then keeps verification human. Passing rows can be reviewed in bulk; failing or ambiguous rows stay in the normal nonconformance path.

FAQ

Can PC-DMIS fill AS9102 Form 3 directly?

Some PC-DMIS workflows can output spreadsheet-style reports, but the reliable handoff is a controlled CSV mapped to existing Form 3 characteristic numbers and reviewed before approval.

Should the import verify Form 3 rows automatically?

No. Importing measured values is different from approving them. Keep verification as a reviewer action so out-of-tolerance and ambiguous rows are routed correctly.
