Select new workplane and adjust graphic display window.

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

Create a new setting that will allow the graphic display window to rotate and center to a new workplane whenever it is selected from the settings workplane dropdown.

Restore settings .

I would like to have oppotunity to save my settings. Menylayout, shortcuts, file locations and so on stored outside PC demis. So you can restore all settings by using this file to restore all settings after an update.

Extreme Point

Jim W 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by dan brokstad 2 years ago 4

When constructing an extreme point on a feature that has been created using a series of points, PC-DMIS creates the point by selecting the point of the series that is in the extreme direction that you have selected.  This however is usually not the extreme point of the feature.  Can PC-DMIS calculate and construct the point at the true extreme of the feature?

Automatically save program after run

Marc Smith 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

PC-DMIS has an option to automatically save a program between the operator pressing the "play" button and the start of the run.  Why does this feature (which I've never found useful but hey, it doesn't hurt) exist but not one that automatically saves at the *end* of the run?  You know, *after* generating all the valuable data?


I can't be the only person on the planet where PC-DMIS sometimes crashes after an overnight run.  This just happened (again) last night and a 5h 49m lights-out run was wiped out!  It crashed so hard it doesn't even know it crashed; no error report was generated!

If you can't fix the problem can you at least make a workaround?

Circular Move in Mode/Manuel

Causing circular move in diameter measurements while in MODE/MANUAL is also off. There is a solution, but it would be more practical to be open.

Copy/Paste Parameters with option what to paste

Wesley 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Joakim 3 years ago 1

When you Copy/Paste Parameters it will copy the whole set of parameters.

When you have let's say 100 holes which all have a different Sample Feature, and you want to change the Depth with Copy/Paste Parameters, ity will change everything, so also the Sample Feature.

So now I have to choose to manual change all Depth or manual change all Sample Feature.

Is it possible to have the option to select what parameters you want to paste?

With a popup menu or something like that?

Easier way to Dimension

R WELCH 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Have an option to group features and dimensions in specific workgroup folders.

The best way I have seen this done is allowing the use of layers when dimensioning parts. 

Example Layer 1 = top view ( this would contain all dimensions from top view )

                Layer 2 = Side view ( this would contain all dimensions from the side view )


This could be done for both features and dimensions and you can easily pick and choose what features you want to have on the screen at any time. This is also good for grouping Datum features or critical features. I have used this on other CMM software's and works very well.
