report should print as text pdf (not image) so it can be copied and pasted to other applications

Kevin Watters 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 4

When you print a report as a pdf it should be rendered as text, not an image so that you can copy and past from it to other applications.

create balloon drawing with OCR

mihael rakic 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by PrasannaS 2 years ago 3

It would be nice that PC-DMIS users can create balloon drawings with the OCR technology in PC-DMIS. PC-DMIS already recognizes the dimensions displayed on the 2D-drawing. It would be a nice add-on that PC-DMIS also inserts a balloon number next to that dimension, so that users don't need to create balloon drawings in 3rd party software.

disallow invalid feature names

Aaron Baldauf 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by mihael rakic 2 years ago 1

I would like, that PC-DMIS makes it impossible to use “invalid” characters (spaces or special characters) in feature names or at least warn the user when using them.

I have seen many problems come from it first hand and also countless forum threads about it.

I material specific illumination calibration that is interchangeable.

Chris Bittle 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 4

I would like to have the ability to change the illumination calibration without having to re-calibrate the illumination when I inspect a different type of material.  At this time, if I calibrate the illumination to one type of material, then I can not use the same calibration on a different type of material as effectively.  I would like to be able to toggle between the illumination calibrations.

Include CurveAnalyzer into PC-DMIS!

Jörgen Andersson (vpt se) 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

Holy hexagon, Batman!


Has the PC-DMIS marketing/sales department completely missed this application?


I would LOVE to have the functionality of CurveAnalyzer in PC-DMIS, adding tracer/contour functions to my scans and being able to measure within/on the scans...


...and why is it not being marketed harder? If it works as expected (and as how I think it works) it is a given inclusion in the CAD++ package.

General toleranc classes (maps)

Mitja Smrekar 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

Now when I insert distance dimensions I have to write down the nominal value and tolerance for each dimension. I would like to see PC-DMIS fill the tolerance zones according to nominal dimension (if I choose it; checkbox)  and chosen standard (ISO 2768, DIN16742 TG1-TG8, ISO 16901, ...) (PC-DMIS remember chosen standard within program). Something similar is in Location dimensions but it is only for holes and shafts. I also miss a tool or manual to create my own tolerance maps for standards we used and common tolerances on drawings ( +/- 0.05mm; +/- 0.1mm;+/- 0.2mm;+/- 0.3mm). To sum what I want, more flexibility and automation filling the tolerances for distance and location dimensions.
