UK customer has requested a way in Inspect to specify a % of tolerance, and if dimensions are within tolerance, but above the % of tolerance, they would be marked in yellow on the dimension summary screen at the end of execution.

We need more Variables ind the Header of the Protokoll.

The Customers need to insert.

1. Customer

2. Part

3. Controller

4. Tube Material

5. Bender

6. Comments

7. ...etc.

Would like to be able to view the CAD model within the Inspect user interface while the program is executing. Similar to the current Operator mode functionality.

Now PC-DMIS remembers only measurements made on the last part. A lot of time I need a complete data of part that was measured in past. It could be set to remember last xx measured parts. I know that Calypso has this feature.

Add options to construct Datum features in such a way that they reflect the standard.

Example - Datum A is a Plane, and Datum B is a cylinder bore nominally perpendicular to the plane.

As per both ISO and ASME standards, Datum B would be a Max Insc Cylinder Perpendicular to Dat A.

It's easy enough to construct a Max Insc cylinder, but this wouldn't be forced perpendicular to the plane, currently you'd have to measure it as a series of circles, then construct a Max Insc Circle in the correct workplane after levelling to Dat A.

See bottom image for example (image shows shaft not bore but principle is the same).

Like wise construct a datum plane from a measured plane relative to another feature (Top image)

Your program is finished but some points or features were added and their out of numerical order.

A Re-number feature would put them all in ascending order.

I would like the ability to create an attribute dimension, similar to a "Keyed In" dimension that has a non-numerical value of either "PASS" OR "FAIL" and the ability to pass that result to reports or Excel exports.  Currently, all defined dimensions are numerical.

Autocalibration Currently does not remeasure failed tips. My suggestion is to implement a feature within the Autocalibration routine that allows it to remeasure the tips that failed the standard deviation. As well as adding a feature within the autocalibration code that allows you to select the calibration sphere when the qualtool has been moved only. This would be used for all autocalibration within that code as well but only selected at the beginning of the program to ensure correct vector and size are used. My expectation if this gets implemented is when i leave on Friday, i can start the autocalibration routine and come back on Monday with no tips that have been outside of the standard deviations.

The Gerber format is a standard ASCII format file structure and uses X, Y, Z and I, J, K information that enables data exchange between CAD (development) and CAM (production). It is primarily used in electronic CAD programs (EDA – Electronic Design Automation) to output layout data for printed circuit boards.

We are frequently confronted with this format and here we have a competitive disadvantage compared to providers who can read this format into their measurement software without further external conversion.

It would therefore be desirable to integrate a corresponding import interface into PC-DMIS.

Many times we have 25 to 100 x's size and location callouts for pattern of holes. It would be nice to have PC-DMIS be able to output Min/Max GeoTol values without hard coded variable arrays.
