Auto plane radial pattern should default location to some geometric center of the clicked surface

Guillermo 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

When creating an Auto Plane contact feature, the XYZIJK for the feature are grabbed from where the user clicked.  If the Pattern is radial, what makes more sense is for the XYZIJK to default to central location.  Most often than note, when the user wants to use a radial pattern he/she is working on a surface around a circular feature or with a circular perimeter.  Having to manually edit the XYZ of the feature so that the pattern will be centered is not user friendly.
and if the center is on an inclined surface (not orthogonal to X,Y or Z) and the center has a hole, good luck.
Seems to me that if radial pattern is the current default for Strategies, QuickMeasure clicking on CAD for an autoplane should do that evaluation on the fly also.

Edit Window Warnings Widget (Update Measured / Tols / Alignments etc)

Create a floating (ideally customizable) widget for warnings related to edit window changes.

Have a widget so you can toggle the common warnings (Carry Nominals back to feature / Update Measured Also / Save Theo as New Target / Update Nominals of Related Dimension / Carry Tolerances Forward / Update Commands Below)

Behavior could be that if the widget is visible it won't ask the question and will just use the currently selected option.

Make customizable so user can specify which warnings are on the widget.

Compensate for plating/surface treatments

Craig H 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

It would be nice to pick type of plating or surface treatment with thickness and tolerance. Also the ability to select which surfaces get plating on the cad model or the entire part. It can be a real pain to figure all this before hand.

Swapping the XY axis to YX in the created program

srinivasan 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 3 years ago 4

Dear Hexagon Team,

I would like to suggest transforming the XYZ axis in the created program.

For example, If we create the CMM  program with reference to one machine, which is configured as (20.33.15 that is XYZ), suppose I want to run the same program in the other machine which is configured as (33.20.15 that is YXZ).

I am facing this problem frequently as my customer is giving the program, but I couldn't able to run the same program on our machine.

If you provide this option, it would be very useful to run the same program in the different axis configured machine and also we don't need to recreate the new program.

If this option is already available in the software, please let me know.

Refer to the below attached image for you reference.

GD&T Read coordinates of the alignment points and measuring points from the drawing.

Konrad 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil Challinor 2 years ago 1

This eliminates the time-consuming typing of coordinates and tolerances from drawings.

Use Imagecapture from PCDMis Vision to automate exporting a screen capture

Bill 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like a way to export a Graphic image as a jpg or png image to help show the condition of a feature without having to generate a report. PCDMis Vision currently has the option to grab a live image, I'd like to have it available to use with the Graphic window too.

Thanks

Add a quick measure for "plane to feature".

Dana 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

In the Quick Measure menu it would be nice to have one for plane to feature.
