Vision - Add Delayed Live view setting

Kyle Brummans 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 3

Additional view settings such as adding a delay to measured vision features. 

Ex.  I measure a feature, then for a x.xx seconds (whatever I choose) the live view pauses accordingly to show the measured hits.  An additional toggle of accepted and unaccepted hits would also be nice.

USING HELP

Mitja Smrekar 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 3

With version 2019 the help (F1) is accessible trough the browser. My experience is very bad. The search is slow, opening is slow too. I just can not use it, it is unusable!!! Make it fast and simple like it was before.

Vision Profile 'Arc' Multi Execute

Kyle Brummans 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 1

Currently, when executing profiles I've noticed it will sometimes take small segments of arcs, tiny segments, one at a time. 

It would enhance the run speed of my programs if it could execute all edges visible. 

(Side note: I've also noticed that the scan is much slower than competing products, customers have said things like "I thought It'd be faster" and my boss has even said "I remember XXX Brand being much faster, but maybe I'm wrong")

Warning user of requirements for simultaneous evaluation if the GDT dimension has the same material modifers as a previous dimension

david carter 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 0

Not many users are aware of the simultaneous evaluation option and tend to dimension separately and thus getting the benefit of the material bonus individually rather than collectively. Could it be a possible if a feature has been dimensioned using the same DRF callout we warn the user that these should be treated as a group i.e. simultaneous evaluation.

Allow Additional Pre-Hit / Retract Distance When calibrating an analogue probe with DCC+DCC

david carter 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 0

When calibrating an analogue probe, due to the required number of hits (25) it can take a long time. To alleviate this reducing the pre-hit / Retract to say 0.5mm will improve the throughput. This however only works if the tip position is known. If using DCC+DCC calibration could we not have an additional field so the tip position is found with a user-defined larger pre-hit / Retract and then reverts to the smaller user-defined  pre-hit / retract post finding tip.

Create a public API for external automation

Kyle Brummans 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 0

Create an API platform that is friendly to programmers (non-pcdmis code) to access and manipulate information and processes in PC°DMIS. (Example: https://www.pcdmisforum.com/forum/pc-dmis-enterprise-metrology-software/pc-dmis-code-samples/22927-pcdmis-automation-with-visual-csharp-2010-express)

This would allow companies, labs, and hexagon the ability to integrate with more softwares.

Enhance vision probe support - lighting

Kyle Brummans 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 7

Vision Probing is great (for the most part).  However it would be nice to see a smoother transition when programming between two dissimilar machines or even CMM-V.   Problems with settings translating between different style light configurations can pose some strange difficulites.  Mostly settings getting lost or hidden. 


Example:  Right now I have a single tier ring light, my customer has a triple tiered ring light.  I write programs where in sections I turned the ring light off - when the program is transported to their system - it is on.  I am told this is because their setup is different. 


If this were a probing Cmm I would simply select a different module/tip etc and move on - right in the probe toolbox.

☑ Override favorites to top of list - Sorting for Alignments /Dimensions

Kyle Brummans 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 2

The ability to favorite a feature and sort those to the top of a list in alignments or when dimensioning.

(Perhaps a check box to  ☑ Override favorites to top of list)

Many times I'm referencing a common datum feature and have to continuously hunt for it in the list.

Open Template / Program Template Search Path

Kyle Brummans 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 4

Very Simple Idea. \

Add a set search path option for 'Template Programs'. 

Add to the drop down menu under 'Open' ; 'Open Template'. 


This then drives to your set search path for template programs.
