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

Aaron Baldauf 4 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 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 4 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.

Change Label Colors

S. Ordelmans 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like to be able to change the colors, both background and line colors, from the standard PC-DMIS labels.

There is already a possibility to change colors related to the view and other functionalities. Perhaps this menu can include the reporting label colors.

In this menu you could then select the standard PC-DMIS label colors and change them to your company colors.


Currently we are changing every single label manually to adjust them to our company colors (blue lines will be black en the background colors will match our company's colors).

This takes a extremely long time, but with this option mentioned above everyone could change it instantly to their own liking, with the possible added benefit that your reports match your company colors for professionalization.

2021.1__Add unequal tolerance zones for analysis view command

DAN_M_413 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Aaron Baldauf 4 years ago 1

Using 2021.1, an "analysisview" command of a feature control frame that uses the "U Modifier" will ONLY allow us to put on the inspection report an "analysisview" of a BILATERAL tolerance band. 


Please add the capability for us to show the tolerance band as UNEQUAL.

Find hole available for concentric cilinder scan (Auto element)

Doeko bv 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Within the auto elements of  the circle we have the option find hole with adaptive circle scan. Unfortunately this is not possible for concentric circle scan in the auto element of the cilinder. 


It would be an advantage if the "find hole" option would be available for the concentric circle scan of  the auto-element cilinders.

Pointcloud to CAD alignments

dan brokstad 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Often when making a point cloud to CAD alignment on sheet metal, the cloud don't fit (see A.JPG).

This is what I think because of the sheet metal can be wrong shape with some degree so it fit better on the opposite side.

I would like to have a CAD Controls in the alignments window (see B.JPG), so I can choose some CAD surface to fit my points (see C.JPG) or you can say as well like "helping the alignment calculation".

Create a full circle from two or three separate partial circles.

Daniel Pearce 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Barry Buechner (bfire85) 5 years ago 1

There are times when you can only measure a portion of a circle with a specific probe orientation. It would be great to be able to create a full circle from two or more partial measures circles.

Report Window Print Setup – Output Configuration – Add Report Name configuration

davehocum 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 5 years ago 1

Add Name setting same as the Excel Form Report - Report Settings dialog window to the Report Window Print Setup – Output Configuration dialog window.

Excel Form Report - Report Settings

Name - This option determines a file name based on your selections from a series of lists. The list provides a trace field value to create a name rule. You must select options from a series of lists that supports the desired report mode.
