Currently the way PC-DMIS is if you are using a Precitec type controller for a CWLS system in order to correct the range on the controller for the current lens of use you have to go in EGON Configuration editor (which you should not do unless you really know what you are doing! but I had to) to change the WLS Lens selection.

There is no option to change this within the laser parameters while coding or anywhere in PC-DMIS. This is currently solely controlled by hard code from the configuration. I have 3 different white light sensor lens and in order to change out one to another I have to open EGON every time.

Please add a Forum section for Chromatic White Light Sensor Scanning or laser scanning to share discussions upon using a third probe setup on machines. This would be a huge imporvement.

I cannot find anny topics or discussions on this topic it is fairly new and would be a great addition.

I wish I could insert created views in legacy report. Now I can only recall views and make a screenshot of screen and this is not automated. Creation of complete legacy report take too much time but creating views is simple and faster. Legacy report is saved as PDF document.

Extend Summary mode as more than just a tree view that requires expanding. Make several of the most common features easily accessible (i.e. hits on a circle with +/- buttons, check box for find hole routine in circles, show the features used in an alignment, etc.)

lntroduce self learning packages where a new beginner can learn at home on a simulated software. Step by step training with a library of models from manual alignment to advance features.

Just like MASTERCAM which has excellent training package

a quicker more accessible option for reporting

We would like to be able to pattern around a specified feature as oppose to having to move the datum to that location, as pattern only operates around the datum.

A way to check to see if you reported measurements on all features measured so you don't forget to report on them.

I would like PC-DMIS to support a replayable measurement result package similar in functionality to ZEISS Calypso’s saved measurement data concept.
The purpose is to reopen a completed run without the physical part present, using stored measured points, constructed features, alignments, and run-specific evaluation data.

PC-DMIS already appears to generate interim or backup data between runs, which suggests an existing mechanism that could potentially be extended into a formal run snapshot / replay file.

This would provide major benefits for offline analysis, troubleshooting, reporting, training, reproducibility, and reduced machine occupation.

Ideally the stored package should include:

• measured hit points / scan points

• calculated features

• active alignment and datum state

• sensor context

• timestamp / operator metadata

• optional CAD link reference

The main goal is not full raw machine logging, but a practical, reopenable measurement dataset that allows re-evaluation without remeasuring the physical part.

I would like to see VISI cad file support added to the Replace Component function in CAD Assembly.
