Retrieve a feature name, just the name.

[[Ri...]]

I am trying to check if a feature is active and assign a different stylus tip.

I am not sure if using "if Plane3==true" is what I need or should use, it appears to calculate in the PCM Editor.

if PN=="00-887298"
if "Plane3"=true
Datum_B_tipA=="Down"
Datum_B_tipB=="Down"
else
Datum_B_tipA=Datum_B_tip3
Datum_B_tipB=Datum_B_tip5
endif
endif

Any assitance with this is appreciated.

if "Plane3"=true

Does not seem to do anything. That is just saying the word Plane3 when in quotes is set to true. 

But unfortunately I can't think of a way or a syntax to interact with a feature. Not saying there isn't but I would have to dig into see if any syntax does exist.

The code "if "Plane3"=true" was just pseudo text to imply what I am looking to achieve.

What do you mean with "check if a feature is active"? 

I don't understand what you want to achieve.

When Calypso changes to a different feature I assume there is some internal flag we can catch at the time the feature name is activated for measuring.

We can see the next feature to be measured at the top of the Calypso screen just before the measurement starts.

Richard,

 

 I think we need more info :  What would cause 'plane 3' to be active or not ?, this could help us solve it. Also by chance, is plane 3 always a primary datum of the base alignment for example ? This might help with the solution as well, if it is just a random feature not tied to an alignment etc, it could be more challegning.
