can the min or max show the feature out of tolerance instead of it averaging to the measure feature to be acceptable

Dominic Abate hace 8 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS actualizado por Kingsld1 hace 4 años 3

I'm measuring a cylinder on one of our parts and the max was out of tolerance.  the report was not showing it out of tolerance because it takes the average of the min and max.   the operator did not catch this and the part was shipped to the customer.  is there a was to report the min and max as a out of tolerance feature on the report?

Saving measurement routines (programs) as compressed files.

John Riggins hace 8 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS actualizado por neil kay hace 5 años 0

At our facility we save the "program" for every part that is measured. We started doing this several years ago in order to be able to review the actual "program" that had been processed by inexperienced operators. This practice has continued to this day. We don't often review these saved programs, but this practice has saved more money over the long run than it has cost.

The major "cost" is drive space. This saving uses up lots of disk drive space.

It would be great if we had the option to "save as" a compressed file.

Why don't we have toolbar icons for scans?

Export results as a CAD model with a program command

Kingsld1 hace 8 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS actualizado por neil kay hace 5 años 0

It would be nice to export measurement results to CAD automatically with a part program command. I know it can be done manually but you can't always count on remembering to do it. Maybe an addon to the Print command? Include options for auto indexing like the current PDF or Excell output. Alignment and cad format to be used would need to be part of the parameters for this.

Surface scan following the curve on the surface

Mitja Smrekar hace 8 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS actualizado por neil kay hace 5 años 4

I would like the option to scan the surface following an irregular, or made up of geometric shapes curve (red) that is on that surface all the way around (sample on the picture)

Start program dialog

romeo matkovic hace 8 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS actualizado por neil kay hace 5 años 2

PCDMIS should have some customisable deafult run program dialog. For general data inputing before measurment starts, like Operator, machine, sample number, reason for measurtment, etc.

Those dialog shoud be changeable with some Scripting editor or throu some ini file.

Have the recent file menu show the last 10 programs executed instead of just the last 4.

Derek hace 8 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS actualizado por neil kay hace 5 años 4

Shouldn't be that hard to do. Lets get it done for 2017 guys.

It would be great to add .PA, .PR in extensions for hits, arrays (...)in assignments.

Allow theoretical numbers to be locked on individual features

Jay Flint hace 8 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS actualizado por neil kay hace 5 años 2

Allow theoretical numbers to be locked on individual features making it possible to prevent them from changing. This would give us a more elegant solution than turning a theoretical number into an expression by dividing by 1.

I would like actually create surfaces based on a point cloud
