Clip Plane Improvement

Kingsld1 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 0

Have the ability to have multiple angles in clip planes.  


It's not uncommon for section views to not be a flat plane. Instead they have twists and turns in them.  It would be nice to be able to duplicate the section view on my print to my programming/ reporting view.


Maybe use features (including generic features) to set the spot where the section view turns?


Maybe some type of boolean operation to combine multiple clip planes in order to achieve this effect?

Mapped drives in win10

romeo matkovic 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Gábor Tóth 6 years ago 6

Dialog Save As or Open in win10 with 2018R1 doesn't work. PCDMIS doesn't see any network mapped drives or folder from Quick Access. Please fix that. because we cant work without that.

Give me more time to name a new probe file!

Trevor McLaughlin 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 0

I'd like more time to type the name of a new probe file in Probe Utilities. After a few seconds (for indecisive/slow typists) you are bounced out of the Probe file field and into Probe description.


If you continue typing in the field after being bounced out of it, you will be asked if you want to save changes to the prior probe file (which is essentially nothing). This is confusing and frustrating to new users. Perhaps the time limit could be removed to allow the user more control. 


Having said that, I have to give credit to the developers for the improvements to Probe Utilities in 2018 R2. I like what I'm seeing in the technical preview.

New possibility to construct a Scan-Segment from a Scan and Curve-Segment from a Scan

Thomas Schopp 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Cristopher Chingwa 4 years ago 1

I need a possibility to construct a Scan-Segment from a Scan and Curve-Segment from a Scan in the Constructed Features “Feature Sets” and “Curves”.

This gives me the possibility to do different constructions, calculations and analyzes with the Segments.

If you scan for example a complete inner or outer contour like a cloverleaf or something else, it is not possible to split this complete Scan in Segments about a function like Scan Segment in the Circle and Line construction Dialog.

Actual you can just do it about the Hit Numbers programming [ ]. But this is dangerous, depend on, if you change for any reason the Point Density from the scan. Or you can just measure Segment with more as one Scan. This is not very niche for the runtime etc.

Make the Mini Routine Dialog readable from outside PC-DMIS

Thomas Schopp 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 0

It would be nice if the Mini Routine Dialog readable for any Automation, for example Inspect.

If I wrote a Routine within Mini Routines, I expect, tat Inspect opens the Mini Routine Dialog to select the Mini Routine which I will execute, before the Routine will be opened and executed.

I suggest creating a toggle within auto features dialog box to turn on and off auto dimensions.

Scale to fit when graphic views or rotation widget side is clicked on

Trevor McLaughlin 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 0

When using the graphic views toolbar or clicking on the rotation widget sides, I'd like the cad to scale to fit to the graphics display window. If memory serves, this was the case back in 2011 but in subsequent releases has rotated the cad sometimes off the screen, sometimes ending up only showing part of the model on screen.

Saving all related objects

Bill Kulpa 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 0

When I save down from a newer version I'd like all the related object in the routine to save down with it.

I use a lot of forms and report label templates so I'm constantly running from the production floor back to my desk to save each part of the puzzle down to the version running on that CMM..


I know what people are going to say, why not 1 version for everything.

We do our testing offline before migrating to the production machines.

And with 15 CMM's we can't always count on the newer versions working with a particular controller.
