    Option to load CAD file based on user input

    Chris Rogers 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 9

    Add the ability for users to code in an import CAD file based on variables.  IE:

    What part are you running?  -2

    if c1.input == "-2"

    import, igs, "c:\models\ 123-2.igs"

    end_if

    something to that effect, for when there are a family of parts with minor changes in the part and you want to write a single program to run all parts in the family, but want the correct CAD file to show, as to not confuse the operator when the incorrect part is showing on the screen.

    Allow to default feature colors within "Edit Feature Appearance".

    Albert 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

    Having the ability to have custom colors default for feature colors makes changing the background color cater the color choices. Creating multiple features then having to back track and open the "Edit Feature Appearance" to change the color is not ideal.

    Sort probe order based on B angle for faster calibration

    Joshmxz 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

    Have the ability to sort all angles by angle A or B. A is currently the only way. If sorting by B, the Calibration routine will be much shorter.

    Custom Excel Reports

    Kmurad 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 7 1 duplicate

    Give PC-DMIS the ability to store measurement results that can be exported to a custom Excel template. I currently use InspectionXpert software for ballooning drawings and that software allows you to create a custom Excel template by choosing the information that you export in a secondary function of the software.

    CAD things develop

    Gábor Tóth 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 4 years ago 25

    It would be great if I click on CAD part model than is marked(highlighted) in CAD assembly tree too and reverse: If I click on one item in CAD assembly that will be show in CAD window by other color.

    Additionaly the marked CAD item can be hide by "I" ( invisible) button, visible again by "V" and "E" exlusive visible only just this item... ( It work an another software and would be great if here will be works similar :-) )

    warn if routine is open in another location

    damonh 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

    similar to opening a word doc or protected pdf  or cad file, where an instance of that file is already open at another pc or workstation, and a warning pops up that it can only be viewed not edited since it is open somewhere else.  This would come in handy when, programmer needs to make edits, but in another facility the routine is open and running at a cmm. Rather than messaging folks or emailing and waiting for a response and someone to physically go verify it is not open anywhere, to just have a warning message pop up instead.

    simple option that FREEZES nominals

    kevocmm 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

    one of the most frequent complaints is about changing nominals. There have been many different things listed to reduce that having to do with F5 settings and how Alignments are created etc, amounting to many things to seek and tie them down so they dont change. Perhaps pcdmis authors consider this a 'feature' but most users consider it the bain of their existence. It makes them HATE using pcdmis. Why not have 1 simple parameter the user can set that permanently locks the nominals of features and moves etc so that they can not change?
