"Manual" Alignment of Pointcloud

darius vor 5 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von neil kay vor 5 Jahren 0

It would be nice to have the opportunity to manually (by using mouse) align pointcloud to cad model, or one pointcloud to other pointcloud and from here make eventualy refine alignment. Idea is to put  with mouse COP on CAD or other COP to lock this on specific area.Thanks to this it would be easier to align only partly scanned surfaces. Today even if I using point pairs sometimes alignment is moving far away from expected place. Actual functionality is working good only if whole part is scanned allround.

Create a dynamic x-form to orientate part quicker, similar to Mastercam or cad cam system.

Printer PDF file location is hidden in editor window.  File saving locations should be highly visible.

Add a calculator function to several menus

Kyle Brummans vor 5 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von neil kay vor 5 Jahren 0

Add a button to several menu's that expands a calculator and assign a hot key to open/close the calculator.

Suggested Locations:

-AutoFeature Menu

-Constructed Feature Menu

-Alignment Menu

-Pattern Menu

-Transformation Menu

-Clip Plane Menu

Huge plus if the calculator had some intuitive dynamic functions.

Color coded edge point preview

Kyle Brummans vor 5 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von neil kay vor 5 Jahren 0


Much like the auto-circle it would be intuitive to have the same color coding on the path lines for edge points.

Currently, auto-circle's first hit is purple and last is orange.

It could also be useful to have say an arrow head or something noticeable for sample hits.

Most of us probably have the orders memorized, but its more intuitive to color code and easier to train with visuals.

When Installing PC-DMIS Check the Locale or Ask user if they wish to work to ASME or ISO standard

david carter vor 5 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von neil kay vor 5 Jahren 0

When we install PC-DMIS Check the Locale or Ask user if they wish to work to ASME or ISO standard as default so the registry key is then set correctly. By default it is set to ASME, but users working to ISO then have to change the Standard each time using Xactmeasure. The situation is worse for legacy as they might be reporting profile tolerance incorrectly  without there knowledge. Most users are not aware of the registry key USEISOCALCULATIONS and even if they do they might not have permissions to change it. We should be more active to ensure users are using the right applicable standard at install time.

Vector Map Touch Trigger Probe characteristics to Minimise lobing error

david carter vor 5 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von neil kay vor 5 Jahren 1

Many customers are not aware of the significant lobing error on a touch trigger probe. Currently we do not 'map' this lobing error other than average it. In some cases (long stylus length and higher spring forces)  the lobing can be significant and will result in errors whilst measuring, especially when single point measuring. PC-DMIS should be able of map the characteristics and thus provide more accurate measurements. This will give us an advanced over competitor software.

Command Mode - Dynamic Zoom with <CTRL> + Mouse Scroll

mike vor 5 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von neil kay vor 5 Jahren 0

Command mode has visual challenges. Small text (fonts), while difficult to see, is good for seeing the whole program - especially features with long widths across. Large text (fonts) is good for detail and visibility, but the field of view gets cropped.

Changing fonts by pressing F6, then clicking "Edit Window", and THEN selecting the font size, is archaic.

A huge improvement would be if Command Mode allowed Dynamic Zoom (or Font Scaling) using <CTRL> + Mouse Scroll. Examples of this are available in Visual Studio's editor, MS Word, and Notepad++.

Note the attached MP4 of Visual Studio scrolling in and out of code details.
