I like to get the actual selected and executed Miniroutine(s) by automation

frank herr 10 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I like to get the actual selected and executed Miniroutine(s) by automation. A function like GetActiveMiniRoutine() on Part level can be a solution.

Vision - Possibility to use live view like a projector by using 2D dxf Contour shown in Live Image

When measuring with the optics, it should be possible to superimpose an overlay on the live image.

Similar to a wireframe model or a DXF contour, the lines of the nominal geometries should lie over the camera image.

This allows the operator to visually compare the actual and nominal contours, just like with a projector. Furthermore, the customer wishes to carry out manual measurements in the live view between the nominal and actual contour. Such as distances, angles etc.

Why you don´t have a way or option to save a New file choosing by us a other folder?

SCM2024 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 2 years ago 0

Good Morning,

In the home page when I create a new file, I can not save my new file routine on a folder choosing by me.

Beacause I think there is a default folder already defined by PC-DMIS, but it is a folder that is located in an APPdata folder. This means we have to copy to the folder we want.

Can you do an improvement so that I can choose a folder to save my file?

Best Regards

AUTO PLANE RINGS

barnett_james 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil Challinor 3 months ago 3

I would like to see an option where we can adjust the distance between multiple rings when checking a radial auto plane. We of course have the option to adjust the size of the rings but, to my knowledge, don't have the option to adjust the distance between.

autocalibrate probes within a single routine based on last calibrated date

Stephan Manley 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Patrick Gendron 2 years ago 1

I'm looking to have an auto calibrate command for all probes/tips within a single routine that have been calibrated outside a specified range. With this, it would also be nice to have a way to see all used probes and tips within the routine without having to go into each probe individually and select mark used. Currently we calibrate probes by opening each probe (F9), selecting mark used and looking at the calibration dates/times. If it has been outside of 24 hours we typically calibrate only the necessary tips. I'd like a way to do this automatically, and to be able to use this command from a form.

Thanks

Alphabetize Report Option

cstearns 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like an option to alphabetize inspection reports.  I typically inspect parts to a ballooned drawing.  I resort to saving all my dimensions until the end of my program and name them BALLOON1, BALLOON2, etc.  The problem is when I have a part with hundreds of balloons, I'm hopping around from alignment to alignment and workplane to workplane. It would save time if I could create the dimensions as I'm creating features so that I'm recalling alignments and switching workplanes less often.

Shape options for clearance

Eric Tingle 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by TMO 1 year ago 1

Clearance cube works well for square/rectangle parts but not ideal for cylindrical shaped parts. A clearance cylinder would work well for round parts that have features i.e. circles etc... on the outer perimeter of the cylinder.

Auto Element Kreis Scan auch mit Stützpunkte/ Auto element circle scan also with support points

Mein Idee beinhaltet dass beim Auto Element Kreis Scan auch Stützpunkten möglich sind. 

Aktuell ist dies nicht möglich.

My idea is to program the scan with the auto element circle also with interpolation points.
Currently this is not possible.

Let some settings/files be stored on a network for shared settings

Aaron Baldauf 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 3 years ago 2

Let PC-DMIS store some setting/files on a network so they can be accessed from different machines / PC-DMIS installations.

I'm talking about settings/files like: 

  • usrprobe.dat
  • MaterialCoefficients.xml
  • xxx.MSExml (StrategyEditor)
  • MessageBoxOptions.dat
  • The User Interface (Icons and so on)
  • Colors of the edit window
  • Colors of the features
  • and many more

Having many machines and many pc-dmis installs is a pain to maintain which costs hours.

Having a central settings directory on the network would save a lot of time.
