It would be nice if we can handle STL by surface mesh. Pointcloud is not usable...

Some youtube demo about pointcloud operation is also much better to help to our work.

Practical trick and tip etc...

Have the Excel output work with any number of pieces into the same sheet.

When using executing program parts by CTRL + E, PCDMIS automatically swings to the last programmed probe position from the program.

Unfortunately alsothis position is skipped by an IF / GO command.

 Here would be a safety requestion befor the swivel useful.

Hey guys,

I was thinking this morning how nice it would be to be able to specify with your jog box or even form the machine directly set move distances while programming directly online.

Example: I program a lot of thinks that are almost 2 dimensional so it is hard to fixture so we simply just change parts run a quick manual alignment however sometimes it can be tedious to go take and find those manual points but still get it close.

So if you are programming without CAD and not offline and you want the machine to move what you know to be 10mm you can have an options to move in Z+ Z- X+ X- ect. that exact amount instead of feathering the stick to where you want it given the option to change desired distant in seconds. Usually we know where we want to go in each direction we just don't know how far but we know roughly and we know which direction we want. This can make manually take points slightly more uniform as well short of going back through your code and just adjusting your coordinates.

I am not sure if this is possible with current jog boxes or windows in pc-dmis but our machine has an older style j box with no screen or anything. So a window for quick input directions in pc-dmis and or on the jog box would be awesome.

Help files need to make it clear that the working plane and alignment has to match the vector you want the high point to calculate to.   

Either that or change the high point measurement routine to calculate to the entered/ CAD IJK values regardless of working plane or alignment.  This actually seems more intuitive to me.

If we add new material in 2017 R1 SP2 and install SP3 all added material lost :-(

Show path lines for highlighted code only option.

I FIND THE NEW REPORTING TEMPLATES AND LABELS DIFFICULT TO EDIT AND MANIPULATE, CAN THIS BE MADE MORE GENERIC LIKE LEGACY REPORTS
