Suggestion for a filter for laser COP

Marc Smith 10 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil KAY (Hexagon) 2 months ago 3

One filter that I really wish was available for a laser-scan COP is a one that just removes all laser points within x distance of a seam in a solid model.  Trying to get a surface profile measurement of a scanned part is inevitably thrown off because the physical part has had the edges smoothed per drawing requirements, but the model had sharp edges so it shows up as an out-of-tolerance condition.

I'd love to have a filter were I can specify a distance, and then either select individual seam lines or just pick "all seams" to filter out these edge points from the COP.

A .015"/.005" break edge requirement means on a .010-profile surface all of the edges will be out of spec, and the measurement will not be an accurate representation of the part.

Button for non-calibrated angles

SiSkebab 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil KAY (Hexagon) 2 months ago 2

My machine has a tool charger that has eight tools. When I start the program from the server, the program tells me that I have some angles that are not calibrated. I then have to manually search the program and calibrate tool by tool. After that I have to exit the program

and to enter again to make sure that I have calibrated all the angles. It is necessary to put a button that, with one click, will mark those in the head that are not calibrated without exiting the program.

Hole or no hole

Michael Larsen 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil KAY (Hexagon) 2 months ago 2

Sometimes, I like to check if there is a hole at the right spot, not its coordinates.

or when the left part has a hole, and the right part doesn't.

So could You make a function, that "dives" into a hole, with a depth that I type in, and move to the avoidance distance, before it continues with the next feature?

Ability to manage speed of simulation

Mike J. 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil KAY (Hexagon) 2 months ago 2

I would be so handy if the speed of simulation in off-line mode is manageble over a slide by mouse or by arrow up / down buttons. So I can high-speed trough for example a multi-hole pattern.

Be able to see the coordinates of the mouse pointer

Sara 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil KAY (Hexagon) 2 months ago 2

When I have used the scanner, I would like to see the coordinates of the pointer.

If I could, after defining the koordinatsystem, it would be very easy to check some dimensions just by hovering the pointer abow the cloud.

Adding a + sign to constructed features to see the points that create circles, cylinders and cones...etc..

I'd like to see an option to pull the points out of a circle without having to click on the cad to do so.  When i am inside my constructed feature, i wish i could just click the circle and maybe a plus sign next to it so i can get a drop down of what auto points were used to create the circle.

Copy/Paste Parameters with option what to paste

Wesley 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil KAY (Hexagon) 2 months ago 2

When you Copy/Paste Parameters it will copy the whole set of parameters.

When you have let's say 100 holes which all have a different Sample Feature, and you want to change the Depth with Copy/Paste Parameters, ity will change everything, so also the Sample Feature.

So now I have to choose to manual change all Depth or manual change all Sample Feature.

Is it possible to have the option to select what parameters you want to paste?

With a popup menu or something like that?
