Show constrained degrees of freedom in the geometric tolerance dialog window

Jacob Cheverie 1 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt 1 jaar geleden 4

It would be helpful to see the actively constrained degrees of freedom as the feature control frame is being built in the geometric tolerance dialog window. As an example, assume I have a primary datum plane (normal Z+), a secondary datum cylinder (axis along Z), and a tertiary datum cylinder (axis along Z). Then, as I build my feature control frame, the geometric tolerance dialog window shows me which degrees of freedom become constrained as the images below show:

Compare PC-DMIS programs side by side

Ben Powell 2 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door Jörgen Andersson (vpt se) 1 jaar geleden 3

Ability to have two PC-DMIS programs open side by side/one on each monitor to compare and copy and paste between them.

Alternatively, a PC-DMIS clipboard you can use to copy and paste code to and from.

Graphic Analysis View

Sara K 2 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door skatenutsmith 9 maand geleden 1

Add the ability to turn off previous graphic analysis views / show one graphic analysis view at a time. Adding graphic analysis views makes the snapshot for the report cluttered and hard to read. We should be able to disable / enable graphic analysis views on dimensions in the snapshot and/or recall a viewset to "reset" the graphic view.

Possibility to re-call a simultaneously evaluation as an active alignment

Robin 3 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like to have the possibility to activate a Datum feature alignment where a Datum has a Maximum Material Condition e.g. A/B(M)/C(M) which is used for a simultaneously evaluation. It would make it a lot easier to show some single points deviation or similar to an active alignment instead of adding each point of interest to a Dimension which then needs also put in for simult. check.. greetings Rob

GD&T dimensions missing on CMM's report when exported as a text file

Marinko Babic 3 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door Matt 3 jaar geleden 4 1 dubbel

GD&T dimensions are missing on the final output when exporting CMM’s report as a text file. This used to be there and it was fine before the upgrade to PC-DMIS 2020 version but now the dimensions are not there anymore.

I was informed by Hexagons Customer Support that this was a design decision made by the Dimensional Reporting product owner.
So this is as designed!!!

I would strongly suggest and I hope that this gets approved to be brought back to the way it was.

This causes an inconvenience and a huge problem which will result in changing and trying to figure out another way to link up CMM results with SolidWorks Inspection software if any other way even exists.

If this proposal gets approved and changed, customers should get notified/emailed of the change ASAP so we can start using it again as it’s intended.

Text output for the CMM results without dimensions on it will not do anybody any good. What’s the point of even having that option in PC-DMIS then, if certain dimensions will not be on it!?

Ability to use Multiple Print Commands with different formats.

Ability to use Multiple Print Commands with different formats.

Reason for request:

When using Print Commands to print one RTF report and another Print Command to print a PDF.
The end results is two PDF reports.

Example:

PRINT/REPORT,EXEC MODE=END,$
TO_FILE=ON,OVERWRITE=C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hexagon\PC-DMIS\2020 R2\Test Print Commands\test.RTF,AUTO OPEN=OFF,$

Highlight the associated features when the cursor is on a dimension command

Lucas 4 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door Utku 2 jaar geleden 3

Highlight the associated features when the cursor is on a dimension command so that people can easily find out which feature is out of spec.

Animation of a part program should be more realistic

frank herr 5 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 4 jaar geleden 0

We should improve PC-DMIS form a graphical animation of a mesurement routine to a kinematic simulation. Then we can also check execution times and we can see also different speeds betwenn a move and a measurment inside of a feature.

Intervention limit for selected nominal dimension comparisons

U W 5 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 4 jaar geleden 0
It is only possible to define one action limit (e.g. 80% or 90%), which is then effective for all characteristics in the measuring program.
Required: Define a separate action limit for each individual characteristic in the measuring program.
e.g: Characteristic 1 --> intervention limit 85%
Characteristic 2--> no intervention limit
Characteristic 3--> intervention limit 70%

Eingriffsgrenze für ausgewählte Nennmaßvergleiche
Es ist nur möglich eine Eingriffsgrenzen zu definieren (z.B. 80% oder 90%), die dann für alle Merkmale im Messprogramm wirksam ist.
Wunsch: Für jedes einzelne Merkmal im Messprogramm eine seperate Eingriffsgrenze definieren.
z.B.: Merkmal 1 --> Eingriffsgrenze 85%
Merkmal 2--> keine Eingriffsgrenze
Merkmal 3--> Eingriffsgrenze 70%
