Opition to turn on or off the calibration results from being included in the Report

Probe autocalibrate question from the PC-DMIS user forum.

We can change the movements for Clearance Cube to UseTipVector or Axis but a more useful tool can be UseFeatureVector ( the movements to clearance cube to use the feature vector and to activate from F5. Avoidance moves does the same thing but it will be useful in clearance cube motions).What do you think?

As the Manufacturing Industry heads towards automation and more CMM demand, companies like Boeing are asking for a formal Program Change Control Process such as Siemens Team Center. PC-DMIS should be able to accommodate this need.

When a CMM program is released, it should have an associated revision. When changed/updated for any reason, the prior revision program should be archived, documented change history recorded, and the new revision program released for use.

In 2017 R2 the ability to press Ctrl + Left click to select a feature has been removed. now you have to go the longer way of right clicking and navigating to the 'move to' option.

bring it back !

I'm measuring a cylinder on one of our parts and the max was out of tolerance.  the report was not showing it out of tolerance because it takes the average of the min and max.   the operator did not catch this and the part was shipped to the customer.  is there a was to report the min and max as a out of tolerance feature on the report?

At our facility we save the "program" for every part that is measured. We started doing this several years ago in order to be able to review the actual "program" that had been processed by inexperienced operators. This practice has continued to this day. We don't often review these saved programs, but this practice has saved more money over the long run than it has cost.

The major "cost" is drive space. This saving uses up lots of disk drive space.

It would be great if we had the option to "save as" a compressed file.

Why don't we have toolbar icons for scans?

It would be nice to export measurement results to CAD automatically with a part program command. I know it can be done manually but you can't always count on remembering to do it. Maybe an addon to the Print command? Include options for auto indexing like the current PDF or Excell output. Alignment and cad format to be used would need to be part of the parameters for this.

I would like the option to scan the surface following an irregular, or made up of geometric shapes curve (red) that is on that surface all the way around (sample on the picture)

PCDMIS should have some customisable deafult run program dialog. For general data inputing before measurment starts, like Operator, machine, sample number, reason for measurtment, etc.

Those dialog shoud be changeable with some Scripting editor or throu some ini file.
