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.

Tip selection option in jog box (OR) Single click auto circle pick option by using Star probe

srinivasan 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 5 years ago 0

During the manual measurement ,we don't have the option to select the tips from the jog box, instead of that every time we need to select the tips from the software screen.

For fixed probe head user this option would be very use full for circle and point measurement. Every time we no need to go to the screen for tip selection.

Or else you can introduce the auto circle selection from the CAD by using star probe so that we can define the no tips and we can add the safe moves.

Change Label Colors

S. Ordelmans 5 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.

Find hole available for concentric cilinder scan (Auto element)

Doeko bv 5 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.

MBD/PMI/GD&T with Vision

Add the ability to select GD&T with vision probes.  The system could use measurement strategies for vision or run something similar to autotune to set lighting for each feature on the first execution.

Paste with pattern dimension names

Kingsld1 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Krishna Chaitanya Velisetty 5 years ago 6

PC Dmis has the ability to keep feature names and add an index number to the name when using paste with pattern.   Being able to do something similar to Dimension names seems like a logical and useful extension.  Dimension names could then match up to a bubbled print.
