[SH...] Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Is there is any option in the pi web software to add photos in the final report, suppose I am checking the flatness of a plane, I want to add the croped photos of the plane (screenshot photos in the diagram). My production supervisor is very weak in reading drawing. If I can add photos ,in would be very easy for me to explain the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Yes, it isn't more complicated then just adding the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 You could also use a CAD presentation object and use the Detailed view to expand it for viewing. Adding images that are specific to certain parts opens the door to creating many reports, where using CAD presentation allows you to maintain a generic report while still showing the info you want.

[Wo...] Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Could you describe how to display CAD presentation images in a PiWeb report? I've added CAD presentations to the measurement plan, but the PiWeb report doesn't show graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I could be wrong but, I don’t think you can use cad-presentation with the standard (free) version of Pi-web. You’ll have to use the older custom-printout. I think Pi-web is a better reporting software overall but, I believe cad-presentation is another Pi-Web development hiccup that there wasn’t given a lot of forethought on how Pi-web interacts with the millions of older Calypso programs written to use it, just like text elements. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If using the StandardProtocol, go to the buttons in the top right, click on the one that looks like a roundness plot. Click on detailed. If you are using a CAD presentation charactersistic you will see a smaller preview version of it in the expanded rows. You can click on that to view a full screen CAD presentation image.

[La...] Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. Yes. You can save a copy of the Standard Protocol, and my recommendation is to go to the Page Structure tab and expand the protocol item. Find the line item that says Visualization View (Default) and delete it (right click - delete). Then select Visualization View (Detailed) and right click 'Use as default' or you can go to the properties tab and switch the Alternative drop down from Detailed to Default. I haven't tried this, but just off the top of my head that would enable the expanded row as your default view for CAD presentation characteristics. I can give it a shot later to see if that works out. Edit: It works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. Laura, your time spent explaining this is greatly appreciated. I guess I was in my Monday morning PiWeb negative Nelly mood 🙄 To be clear, I did know you could get it to report the cad view on a separate page, I did not know you could get the cad-presentation to show in the actual report page like roundness,flatness is. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Jo...] Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. Laura can probably answer this, but I think you can create a new empty protocol and copy the cad protocol into it as the only object. Resize to your needs.

[La...] Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 The CAD Presentation protocol row uses the Dynamic image as the display object. The function of the Protocol in StandardProtocol.ptx is to specify different row templates that are specific to the characteristic type. If you look at the properties tab of the Protocol object itself, you'll notice that it breaks out different characteristic types by the Characteristic Attribute: Characteristic Type. So, yes, you can create a new blank Protocol and paste the row contents into your own row template, but be sure to also set your new Protocol to also assign row templates based on Characteristic Attribute: Characteristic Type. Otherwise, the Protocol will try and put every characteristic into a CAD Presentation formatted row, which won't work well for displaying conventional characteristic result data. You'll need to create a Protocol with 2 row templates - one for "regular characteristics" with measured values, and the other for CAD presentations.

People tend to get stuck in their comfort zone of the Custom Printout and I'm here to convince you all that the grass is greener on the PiWeb side. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
