Have you ever worked with an application that created popup windows all over your screen while you were trying 
to do your work? You very quickly get to the point where your screen is completely obscured by input dialogs and you can no longer see your work.
InspectionXpert’s Characteristic Property Manager keeps all of the information for your inspection characteristics handy while also keeping your drawing pane clear and uncluttered at the same time.
In today’s fast-paced business environment, changes come at you fast. That drawing that you just ballooned and created an inspection report form with four hundred dimensions is now obsolete. Are you going to print out the new drawing and start over from scratch?
InspectionXpert’s Compare Drawing and Replace Drawing features are just what the doctor ordered in this situation. 
Replace your drawing with the latest version and retain all of your balloons. Additionally, InspectionXpert enables you to see exactly what has changed on your drawing since the last version. Additions are displayed in green, deletions are displayed in red and everything that is common is displayed in grey. Print out the color comparison and use it as a reference to change only the characteristics in your table that need to be changed. No more starting over from scratch.
When your drawings contain more than one thousand characteristics each as ours do, it becomes difficult to find your inspection characteristics. Even with balloons to label each characteristic it can 
be a challenge.
InspectionXpert First-Article’s grid feature solves this problem nicely by dividing your drawing into zones and then labeling each characteristic in the characteristic table with the zone where the particular characteristic is located.
InspectionXpert makes it possible for you to match up the grid to your drawing’s existing grid and InspectionXpert’s Go To Zone feature enables you to zoom to a specific zone in your grid. With all of this advanced functionality finding your characteristics is as easy as saying “faster first articles.”
Many companies specify default tolerances on their drawings based on the number of decimal places in the dimension’s nominal value. More critical dimensions may have a special tolerance explicitly 
specified on the dimension itself.
InspectionXpert first looks for an explicit tolerance on the dimensions that it extracts. If the dimension does not contain an explicit tolerance then the default tolerance for the drawing is used. The default tolerance is specified per project based on the number of decimal places in the dimension’s nominal value. InspectionXpert also automatically calculates the upper and lower dimensional limits based on the dimension’s nominal value and tolerances.
Although all of our customers share the desire to automate and error-proof their quality inspection process, our customers differ greatly in how they choose to organize their inspection forms. We decided very early on that we were going to provide our customers with unrivaled flexibility in the look and feel of their inspection report forms. By using user-customizable Excel templates as the building blocks for inspection report forms, InspectionXpert makes it possible for our customers to arrange the output to their liking. Our customers have the full power of Excel at their disposal when designing their inspection report templates. Macros, charts, pivot tables, formulas, conditional formatting and the like can all be employed with stunning effect.
InspectionXpert’s Template Editor makes it easy to customize your inspection report templates. The Template Editor even makes it easy to modify your company’s existing inspection report templates to accept characteristic data from InspectionXpert.
