Gage won't update when deleting test point steps in template

Using GT Lite 8.8.4.3752, I can use gage template add a test point and have it update on my gages linked to that template. But, if I delete a test point in the template and try to update to the current linked gages; it will not update the existing gages to the fewer test points.

In other words, I update the template and I now have 11 test points. I link my 3 gages and update them and they all now have 11 test points. Now I decide that I no longer want test point # 11, so I go to gage template, delete test point 11 and then update and link my 3 gages to the new test points (so there so be only 10 test points). When I go to the effected gages and view the test points, it still shows 11 points and not the 10 it should be. Why is this doing that?

I can keep adding test points to a template and it will continue to add them to the gages, but it will not display or update any type of deleted step.

And yes, I have closed out the gage tab and “forced” the supposed-to-be updated gage tab to open, but zero deleted step gages show. I must delete the steps manually for each induvial gage.

Please explain how to have deleted steps in the template delete in a gage.

thanks…bob

Hello Bob,

When you go to update the Gage Template onto the gage, within the update window at the top is an option to “match template”. This option when selected will delete everything on the gage that ISN’T on the template currently, so be careful with this option. However, it does sound like this would be the answer to the issue you’re facing.

Success!!! thank you!!!
