Trace field dialog resize

romeo matkovic 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Aug 3 years ago 1

When we use trace field for input general data about parts which we measure. Trace field dialog shows up on screen. Dialog can be resized only in left and right side, but it can't be resize for up-down?!. When we have a lot of trace fields we need to use scroll bar, and this is waste of time, and that is not very user friendly. Please make change and dialog that can be resized in both direction.

Reporting Distance Improvement for Auto_slots

Kingsld1 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Add the ability to add/ subtract widths/ lengths when reporting distance where a feature is an auto -slot.  Currently we can only report to the center of the slot unless a lot of hoops are added.  It's almost as common in my experience for a slot to be located to the edge instead of the center.  Auto-slots are faster to code but are limited in reporting capability.

Allow different nominals in GeoTol TP than the ones used for feature creation

Jörgen Andersson (vpt se) 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Bill Kulpa 3 years ago 1

With GeoTol, you cannot change/use other nominals than the ones that were used for the creation of the feature. This is good, but are problematic at times.

For example, I have a part where I am using one alignment to measure the entire thing (using CAD). This is not a problem if all the features on the drawing is dimensioned according to this one alignment, finetuning the nominals (in essence, rounding them off) is not a problem and I can get the dimensions to match the drawing for easy orientation report VS drawing.

Now, for a section of this print, the alignment has rotated 15° and the dimensions are according to this rotated view. In GeoTol, I will not get the drawings dimensions, but the dimensions are recalculated from the previous alignment to this 15° rotated alignment, meaning that I have no way to adjust the nominals to match the print (can't round them off). My only option here is to measure them IN the rotated alignment and adjust (finetune/round off) the nominals when measuring in order to get the correct nominals in GeoTol and subsequently, the report.

Getting my point?

Would it be possible to be able to change the nominals in the GeoTol evaluation (TP in this case) to use in the evaluation - not affecting the features noms (in whatever alignment they were created)? This would help immensely in situations like these, or are there a more elaborate way to use as workaround?

I can't open the old version registered program in version 2021.2

I can't use the 2021.2 version because the programs made in the 2021.2 version of PCDMIS cannot be opened with the innovation that came in the 2021.2 version. I have a lot of prepared CMM programs. Translating them all into the new version will bring a lot of workloads. I don't know why such a feature was introduced, but there is no need to conclude a software maintenance agreement. What does the software team think.?

Add variable function (expression builder) direct to dimension window (dialog)

Mitja Smrekar 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Ken Renninger 3 years ago 2

Now if we want to calculate dimensions, we have to do it in multiple steps. Make a dimension, create variable with functions or operations, create a construction point, and assigned variable to that point, and report the point.

It will be more elegant if you add a checkbox to dimension window to enable and add some functions & operators to the dimension (the expression builder). The expression builder would be integrated into separate tab on all dimensional windows.

Hydraulic Valve Cavities and O-Ring Port Module Needed

Vondy 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by wayne branton 3 years ago 1

We run many manifold blocks with many Hydraulic Valve Cavities and O-Ring Ports, it would be nice to have a module either with many of the standard sizes or at least where we could build up the sizes we need and then be able to save and keep these for other parts.

Show max/min value when evaluating the position of a plane (ISO 1101)

Aaron Baldauf 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

When evaluating the position of a plane, have the ability show the max & min value.

Basically like its done with the surface profile.

It helps to quickly see if the whole plane is offset or if there is a form or angle error.

Automatically Update Cad Vectors

Chris Bittle 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 3 years ago 0

When I import the XYZ & feature ID for several hundred points which do not contain IJK values, I would like to automatically update the vector for all of them.  I would like to see an option to automatically update vector points without having to open each individual vector point.

Global dimension color

Ability to change the report dimension colors globally. 

Currently there is only the option change the active program and set the default for new programs. There is no option to globally change all reports for programs that are already created.
