I've gone through a number of different posts regarding data extraction from Xact measure dimensions for composite tolerancing and still can't seem to get my output to work. I'm running composite profiles and need to extract the measurement results to upload into a first article software, using 2013 MR1.
As mentioned in previous threads, it's been as simple as generating a generic .csv output file referencing my individual characteristic values using legacy dimensioning. An example for characteristic 111.1 (a radius) would be:
FPTR =FILE/OPEN,M:\PPAP\ACTIVE PPAP-FAI CUSTOMERS\CMM UPLOAD\XXXX-XXX FAI RESULTS.CSV,WRITE
FILE/WRITELINE,FPTR,"ITEM,AXIS,MEAS,"+PREFIX
FILE/WRITELINE,FPTR,"111.1,M,"+LOC1.R.MEAS
FILE/CLOSE,FPTR,KEEP
In the string, the "M" is a generic axis indicator required by the software that will be translating the .csv data (CMM Xpert).
======================
My code for the Xact measure output is as follows, with a (currently failed) attempt to output the data into a format I can output to my .csv. The deviation for both portions of this composite profile are 0.0007. As you can see, the primary profile tolerance is 0.020 and the secondary tolerance is 0.005.

Any help would be appreciated. I've seen some various differences for the "gettext" string. And I was recommended to use the "getcommand" prompt after inquiring about this topic to Hexagon staff. If all else fails, I'll fall back to legacy. Xact measure is just convenient for performing simultaneous evaluation of patterns of features and composite tolerances.
