Have the recent file menu show the last 10 programs executed instead of just the last 4.

Shouldn't be that hard to do. Lets get it done for 2017 guys.

It would be great to add .PA, .PR in extensions for hits, arrays (...)in assignments.

Allow theoretical numbers to be locked on individual features

Jay Flint 9 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 2

Allow theoretical numbers to be locked on individual features making it possible to prevent them from changing. This would give us a more elegant solution than turning a theoretical number into an expression by dividing by 1.

I would like actually create surfaces based on a point cloud

Blade Reporting / Analysis in Pointcloud Section View

Like Polyworks, have the ability to measure classic Blade Geometry within PC-DMIS COP Sections. Make this functionality native to PC-DMIS CAD++ and not require the use of BLADE module. 

Slide image taken from SLS-PW plugin where Max Width, Stagger, Max Thickness, Chord Length, LE & TE Thk are all available. 

There is huge business in the UK alone for Blade inspection using Laser sensors on CMM and on Portable Arms.

BUG: Sometimes the Pop-ups appear in the wrong position (Auto vector Point window)

Gábor Tóth 1 month ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Hello,

When using multiple monitors, the Auto Vector point window that opens for example disappears (appears in the wrong position somewhere) and is not visible on any of the monitors.

The only problem with this is that although I can close it if I immediately ESC it, d if I click somewhere in the model I am unable to close the Auto Vector window and so I cannot exit the program unless I close it in task manager by ending a task.

I think this might be a bug cause I am experiencing it in 2024.1 and also in 2024.2. It is solved if I reset the user in settings editor, but after a while it comes up again.

It would be great if the windows that open would only appear on valid monitors so if the problem could be solved.

Please register it in the bugs section. Thank you!

Summary mode

agrecheski 2 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Bring back the summary mode of 2020 R2. You can keep the color scheme you have if you want. But not being able to hover the dimensions and seeing the results is very annoying. What even is the point of summary mode now??

Auto Features for Continuous Features (CF)

Austin 2 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Ale 2 months ago 1

Allow a simple solution for creating auto features that per the current ASME standard are selected as continuous features (CF). I would recommend adding a CF button within the feature edit window to allow you to select the required features as well as a hotkey. To make it easier for the user the software should recognize what features are continuous.

This will help simplify the path optimization for Auto Features. Example: If you are measuring a continuous plane that has many interruptions you can now globally adjust the parameters and you don't have to construct a scan of all the individual features. 

This would also be a good move since the popular metrology software Zone3 already has the ability to select multiple CAD surfaces as a CF.

Report template: When is it possible to insert the scan on the 3D CAD with the individual points (T-difference) also in the report as a 3D image with the deviations visible?

bhinners 4 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 4 months ago 0

It is also possible to click on individual points and have the deviation displayed directly in the report.

Probe Transparency

Austin 7 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Add an option to make the probe transparent in setup for all of your programs. This could also apply to other lighting settings as well.
