Modernize PEEK window

Prasanna S 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

As of now, the PEEK window is like a black & white TV. :).  It should be more colorful and a have good visual appearance.

I want to see THEO's, ACTL, in different colors (may be color setting)? and also resultants (diam, height, major/min dia's of Cone for example.), etc. in a different color.

New Summary mode should have sorting functions or options to sort dimension based, command based etc.

Prasanna S 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

The new Summary mode is Great!!!, Many of my customers like it here in Australia. I would like to see PC-DMIS having sort options that automatically sorts the MR based on commands and dimensions, For Ex - I might have added dimensions after each feature and I want all to go after features or end of the program. Similarly, there may be times where I would look for dimensions to go and add at the end of features.  Basically, all the analysis views, dimensions, features, etc. should be available for sorting NOT the MOVES and the way the program was written. An optimized path function should be allowed to take care of this. This request is basically for features, dimensions, analysis commands, constructed features ( at the end forex), and for commands which are not affecting the movement of the machine. This should work for all legacy programs as well.

Secondly, the reporting should get updated automatic based on the sorting in the summary window and also it should work for all legacy programs written in older versions - As a 3rd request - if I want to add CAD view for the corresponding dimensions, there should be an option where the CAD views are added based on CAD normal to dimension views instead of me taking Snaps and looking for view sets and add images. I am not sure if this can be a separate request, but, this is how we want to see. automatic and reduce more effort in programming. anyway, thanks for making summary mode neater.

Add paste with pattern option of pc-dmis in Quindos

Prasanna S 4 years ago in Metrology Software / QUINDOS 0

There are many applications which are not gears which do have similar tooth profile like gears (elliptical, trapezoidal, hypocycloid etc.). I recently used PC-DMIS CAD++ for proving a similar type application which is not involute or straight profile and having trapezoid and elliptical tooth. Just like any other part, paste with the pattern was used a lot in this programming and it worked awesomely. I am looking for something similar in Quindos CAD AS WELL as the customer is using Quindos CAD and it would help existing Quindos customers. As we know parametric programming is difficult in Quindos , at-least, I want to see paste with pattern like pc-dmis in quindos. (wrist has to patterned automatic like pc-dmis) along with all other pasted commands like dimensions, analysis windows etc,

Auto calculate measurement strategy based off of Probe build

Chris Bittle 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like to see PC DMIS automatically calculate the ending offset and depth of a cylinder based on the probe length.  Similarly, I would like to see this in planes to ensure the measurement path does not cause a collision.  This functionality is already present in other metrological software.

Optimize Path to move workplane with 2d location or distance

Chris Bittle 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like to see Workplanes be moved with 2d distance, angle, or location dimensions when Optimizing path and moving dimensions to the end of the routine.

Change of name

Rachid Salamat 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 4 years ago 0

Hello, is it possible to create a script which allows to modify all the names in PC-DMIS. For example for a PLN element in PL or CIR in CER as well as the geometric tolerances.

Probe Weight warning

Kingsld1 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Have a warning when the probe that is being built in Probe Utilities may be too long/ heavy for the specified module to calibrate accurately.    This would prevent investing the time in an OFFLINE program that will have issues due to the probe build that is specified.   Probably needed for both touch and scanning probes.  Just need the warning, probably multiple times,  don't want PC DMIS to outright refuse the probe build, especially on a marginal case.     Just burnt myself with  this.....  :(

Report only maximum formdeviation from multiple features

Wes77 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 4 years ago 2

When on a cilinder a circularity is asked, it has to be circular in every cross section. So you need to measure multiple circles.

When you dimension the circularity you need to sele3ct them all, and then it will report all the circularities.


It is possible that you get the option to only report the maximum?

This is also applicable to straightness.
