Add a button to reset Favorites. I had a few favorites, and remove some of them and I still have one which I can not remove.

Adding the per unit flatness to a variable assignment.

Bill 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Matt 4 years ago 1

This would help users with legacy dimensioning to capture the Per Unit answer and send to stats.

Add a button in Probe Utilities to select all uncalibrated tips

I'd like to see a button in Probe Utilities that acts similar to "Mark Used" that would select all uncalibrated tips in the active tip list. Looks like there's room for 2 more buttons.

Maybe call it "Mark Uncalibrated"

Making network licensing available

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

It would be nice to use the software on multiple pcs and "check out" license as needed. I do this with many other types of software and it works great. I'm shocked Hexagon does not utilize this. The license can be parked on my server and be accessed by multiple PC's only allowing the paid number of licenses to login. I'm being told this isn't available for PC DMIS from Hexagon.

default to LAST prehit retract values

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

When measuring in a channel on flexible rings 

I need to adjust the prehit retract values to get a good hit to analyze the data.

I do this in the edit window I type


 prehit and TAB it auto fills the 2.54 value            :(  


What would be useful is the 

ACTUAL LIVE VALUE at that point in the program so I know to go bigger or smaller than what I currently have. 

it may have hit either wall and bounced off ...  so it starts a trial and error routine and is time consuming.

profile radius Algorithm In a auto circle feature

Aaron Ford 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

When measuring the size of a radius with a small arch angle using auto features usually reports the radius incorrectly, a work around for this is to change the origin to the theatrical arch center then take Polar RAD hits and average the hit with a variable then populate a generic feature with that variable. It would be convenient to have a drop down for this in the advanced measurement options best fit math type, this would save a lot of programming time.

Build a color map of a measured part in comparison with another measured part pattern but not with CAD

Elena Brello 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Jörgen Andersson (vpt se) 4 years ago 1

It would be great to be able to build a color map of a measured part based on its comparison with another patter-part and no with its CAD.

This option would be very usefull, for example, in the case where we have 2 parts: at first sight both of the parts have the same dimensions because the results of the measurements of both parts with caliper are similar and both parts are on tolerance with the CAD/drawing, but only one of them could be assembled. So, it would have sense that the difference between them must be on the shape, and the mentioned option would be the best chance to be able to see it.
