[Ke...] Posted Wednesday at 09:19 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:19 AM Hello all. First time posting here so please be gentle. This is a quality-of-life issue more than anything critical, but it is irritating. We are running Calypso 2024 SP2, having upgraded from verion 5.xx. We have a single Autorun Desk containing multiple Measurement Plans. Under version 5.xx we used the legacy Custom template to save results as individual PDFs, but since the upgrade all Measurement Plans have been updated to use PiWeb Multiple Reports with a custom template that is visually similar to the old one. Because we have no need for any of the deep analysis stuff that PiWeb offers (we are basically doing GO/NOGO acceptance checks on individual, non-batched, parts) the results are still saved as single PDFs. Most of the Measurement Plans use imported Base or Start Alignments, and these behave exactly as the old system did. At the end of a run the results appear in a PiWeb Monitor window which stays on screen while a PDF copy is saved to the relevant folder. If the job has met the specification we move onto the next one, and if it's failed we can hit the Print button in the PiWeb Monitor window to generate a hard copy. But some of the Measurement Plans use Manual Start Alignment. These also save the PDF to the expected location, but when the Multiple Report action has finished the PiWeb Monitor window closes. This is annoying because not only does the operator need to keep an eye on the briefly visible window to see the results, if the job has failed specification (red square on the Desk icon) they must then navigate to the results folder to fetch the most recent PDF before they can print it. It's only a few mouse-clicks, but at up to dozens of times per hour it soon adds up. I have trawled through every option I can think of in the hope of addressing this, but I can't find anything relevant. The only workaround I have found is to check the Always leave the CAD window open option on the Tools menu. Whether by accident or design this leaves both the CAD and the PiWeb window open at the end of a run, even for Manual Alignment jobs. If this is by design, I can't imagine why. Is there something obvious I've missed? Is this a bug or a feature? Is there any other workaround that doesn't involve leaving the CAD window open? Thanks.
