Feature vector arrow size

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

When programming a large radius with a shorter angle, the vector arrow scales up with the radius size blocking the edge so you can't see where your hits are located. It appears to be based on the feature size. Working with tech support and a developer on Case # 00264120, they confirmed it is based on feature size.

I would like to be able to decrease the size maybe through:  Edit - Graphic Display Window - Display Symbols. Please let me know if you require additional information.


Thanks in advance for the help.

composite default datums

Kingsld1 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Currently when creating a composite or multi-tier dimension the second and following tier datums are displayed in alphabetical order.  By definition, with composite tolerances, the datums have to repeat what is in the first tier in the same order.    On the second and following  tiers, the programmer should be able to just click on the datum + symbol and the corresponding datum from the first tier should appear.      If for some reason the programmer needs to deviate from this, they should use the custom check box.

I'm at Datum AR on my current project.  Way to much scrolling back and forth.

While I'm at it,  the + symbol to display the composite option check box should be more visible.  Dark Green with a thin black symbol is hard to see on my 43 inch 4k monitor.  (Another example of my general difficult to find things in toolbars rant.)

Add a "work plane" selection to the new Pattern Setup

You could be in the Z workplane but want to create a pattern relative to the X or Y workplanes

Ability to adjust the vector of an avoidance move

In addition to being able to separately adjust the distance of avoidance moves, it would be nice to control the vector of an avoidance move.

CREATING A WIDTH AUTOMATIC USING THE AUTO SLOT MEASURMENT

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

If I can create a slot or a circle relative to a plane than why can't I create a width in the same manner.  Why should I have to create additional alignments.   Example: I have a project that has 60 slots most of which are used as datum features.  Creating 120 widths and 60 additional alignments in a program is not practical.  Secondly, Why can't I use the points that make up the auto slot measurement and have pcdmis create widths using those points automatically ?  Something else to consider is that all of these slots are drafted with no parallel sides.

Inserting a feature into an argument list

Art Deyo 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Inserting a feature into the beginning or middle of an argument list, PC-DMIS doesn't parse the string as it's pasted and thinks the existing name is getting lengthened, even if a comma is present. When creating a FEAT/SET, I needed to include individual hits. I started with the dialog box and selected PNT3. It needed to be the 3rd point in the list, but it was the easiest to select. The feature set was:

CONSTR/SET,BASIC,PNT3,,

Then I was told I needed to change it so it explicitly brought in the single hit 

CONSTR/SET,PNT3.HIT[1],,

Then I needed to add the first 2 points from LIN_L in front of it in the list

CONSTR/SET,BASIC,LIN_L.HIT[1],LIN_L.HIT[2],PNT3.HIT[1],,

But this didn't squeeze 2 additional points in front PNT3. Instead, it changed the name of the single argument to 'LIN_L.HIT[1],LIN_L.HIT[2],PNT3.HIT[1]'. This behaves the same whether I paste the new names as strings, the them manually or use a combination of both.

It appears that PC-DMIS doesn't recognize the commas as delimiters when it's re-parsing the line after an edit. And it doesn't change the quantity of arguments unless the additions are at the end.

excel form report keep the Excels formatting/allow tables.

Melissa K 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

currently Excel form report clears out any formatted cell where the data will generate. Can we have it so it doesn't clear out the cells formatting or so the information will generate in a table inserted into the excel sheet.

Dark Mode for Programming

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

Hello! I noticed that the latest version of PC-DMIS includes a dark mode feature. It applies to the home page and some options such as GT and setting up your datums inside a program but that is it. I use dark mode for everything when available. When you stare at a screen for over 8 hours a day, the white background for me personally is taxing. I would LOVE to have this feature available for the whole programming screen. Including the grey boxes/windows for features and the options at the top of the screen, and have a dark color scheme for the actual coding as well.  

If this color scheme could be for the actual programming side, and it includes a darker color for the grey windows where File and everything is, I would be one happy customer and I'm sure others would be too. 

Thanks for taking the time to read my suggestion!
