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

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!

Add Length of Cylinder to the Measurement Strategy Editor and Quick Features Widget

rangle 1 year ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I want to be able to set the length in the Measurement Strategy Editor as well as in the Quick Feature Widget. If the length was included when copying parameters, that would also be helpful. It just seems like cylinder length has been disregarded. We use a lot of cylinders for our hole locations, and sorry to say but the void detection still makes the probe go down too far and it rubs the bottom face. Our threads also do not go the full length of the drilled hole depth, so void detection just doesn't work too well for these features.

Summary mode

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 1 year ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Ale 1 year 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?

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

Probe Transparency

Austin 2 years 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.

Enable/Disable Clip Planes in Program

TLesley 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 2 years ago 4

I'd like to be able to enable and disable clip planes within a program so that I can take live snapshots of profiles in the middle of parts without having to keep clip planes on at all times.  This could be added in to the viewset feature as well.

关于替换元素名称

260141356 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

在2018版本甚至以前的版本 替换元素名称可以在概要模式下进行,并且替换名称之后测量误差还在。更新2022和2023以后替换元素名称不能在概要模式下进行了,即便更换为命令模式替换元素名称之后 误差值不在了。

Work with Sample Hits

As a programmer, I would appreciate the ability to work with Sample Hits from Auto Features in the new versions.

In the picture is an example of usage.

Image 626

I need to use at least three Sample Hits to measure the hole precisely. 

Then I have to measure the contact surface around the hole, e.g. as an Auto Feature "Auto Plane" using "Relative to" to this hole.

If there was a possibility to use Sample Hits in the construction, I would measure the hole with using more Sample Hits which I would then use to construct the contact area around the hole and I would save one feature measurement in the program, which itself is not much, but if you have e.g. ten such holes on the part, it already saves some time spent on the 3D machine, which is very welcome in serial production.
