It would be extremely helpful to my aging eyes if the line that the cursor is on is highlighted.

Option to save measurement report both in txt and pdf

Roel 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Gary Gosine 2 years ago 13

When using the print command, I use PDF to display the results after each measurement to see if the part is oke and I use Excel to make statistics (with my own written software). I save each measurement in a new excel file so that if my colleague who measures makes a mistake he can delete the excel and measure again, maintaining the numbering (for people without computer experience this is easier than deleting an excel tab). For statistical analysis reading a lot of excel files goes very slow, so I'd like to generate txt files instead. However, saving both txt files and pdf files is not possible with PC-DMIS. Why?


I tried creating 2 print commands, one saving pdf and one saving txt. However, when I change one command, the other one changes as well. Pretty stupid.

Add image import capability for comments

Jordan 7 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

It would be nice to add images to comments in TubeShaper (like in PCDMIS).  Especially to help with setup instructions for operators.

Search for ID's in PDF

KS HUAYU AluTech GmbH - Mr. Löwe


Mr. Löwe would like to have the possibility to search for dimension ID's in PDF's created from PC-DMIS Reporting. Currently he use the default.rtp in rtf format, so that he can search for Dimension ID's. That's important for him, because he has 200-300's of features ad can easly find them by the search function.

But he would prefer to use a report like textonly.rtp, because of the better presentation of of GD&T dimensions. This currently blocked because he cannot search for Dim. Id's.

This can be a usefull function for all report types, textonly either cad reports.

Avoidance Moves Clearance Cube

Valentin Tarba 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

We can change the movements for Clearance Cube to UseTipVector or Axis but a more useful tool can be UseFeatureVector ( the movements to clearance cube to use the feature vector and to activate from F5. Avoidance moves does the same thing but it will be useful in clearance cube motions).What do you think?

Change the coloring of the coordinate system to the conventionally used XYZ=RGB.

George Koskinas 7 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

The currently-used coloring, XYZ=BGR, is very confusing for most 3D CAD software users.

Add scanner support

Daniel Hansen 7 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by Brodsgaard 4 years ago 15

I suggest to add support for scanner. The simplest way would be that when typing a part number (without the PRG extension) and the enter key, then the part program starts (simple HID support). If  the part program not exists, just a simpel text somewhere shows a error message so it is possible to scan (or enter the keyboard) again. No window to close before trying again.

It should be possible to scan direct after the INSPECT application has started.
