Simulation Speed - able to change it during the simulation

wayne branton 9 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil Challinor 3 months ago 1

It would be nice to vary the simulation speed during offline program by either using the keyboard arrow keys or the speed setting on the jogbox - that way you can slow it down or speed it up on the fly only when you need it to without having to invoke the speed change thru a menu, etc.

Add formulas to all Text boxes (with Assignments)

JVP 9 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 2

Make X/Y/Z/I/J/K/Dia/etc have the ability to accept and recognize formulas (and variables/Assignments). After entering the formula it should stay active/visible for easy editing in the future.

Change the generic feature creation to include a drop down selection of previously measured features

banjopkr61 9 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 0

Change the generic feature creation to include a drop down selection of previously measured features such that you could select PLN1.TX - Cir2.TY - Line3.TZ and PLN1.X - CIR2.Y - Line3.Z to populate the new generic feature as you create it.

Error messages should begin with a distinct identifying alpha-numeric code to provide a simpler means of referencing them. Otherwise, some errors messages have similar text and can be confused.

Traffic Light system for Programs - Proven - Unproven/Rev change - Quarantined

Fin 5 days ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Hi Could a traffic light system be implemented to see what level a program is at. currently I would just do this through naming convention of the program but this could end up me having multiple programs that aren't necessary.

Green - Proven, Up-to current revision


Amber - Un-Proven / Revision Change needed

Red - Unproven Program / Quarantined

Select funktion

dan brokstad 1 month ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Hi
In recent years, there have been more and more customers manufacturing plates for hydrogen fuel cells or heat exchanger with have many small CAD surfaces (thousands of surfaces). If you want to mark a certain area, you need to zoom in and mark from different angles to cover everything. This takes an enormous amount of time!!!

So I would like to have more options when selecting CAD surfaces. Like, select all, select all in my selection (through/not through/visible only and so on.

enhance search function for groups (part 2)

Wes77 4 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Could the Find function in Command Mode be edited as is proposed in the original topic from Aaron Baldauf?https://hexagonmi.userecho.com/communities/40/topics/1335-enhance-search-function-for-groups

With that I mean is to add a checkbox for if you want to search inside groups or not.


The reason:

We have very large programs with lots of groups.

When I for instance do a search for "D20H7_" (in version 2025.1) it takes alot of time. If it is within a group it will expand the group. When I click next it will expand the next group. Et cetera.

Groups that are expanded via this Find keep expanded. So I need to do extra work to search manually for expanded groups that were collapsed.

I already talked to Hexagon and they proposed the search function in Summary Mode, but that is very different and not suffcient to my needs.

Plus, I, like so many others, program in Command Mode because I don't want to hoover over a line to get all info like in Summary Mode.


So please make it as proposed by Aaron Baldauf, with a checkbox "Find in groups".

Unchecked = Search as in version 2022.2

Checked = Search as in version 2025.1, and when it expands a collapsed group that when it leaves that group it will collaps it again.

Thanks.
