Add SetPrintOptions for Excel Output to PCDLRN

Charlie Davis hace 2 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

The SetPrintOptions function in the PCDLRN.dll ObjectLibrary allows you to control the print settings for pdf reports but there is no option for excel(csv) files.  I would like to be able to control the Excel output settings.  I know that print commands are possible and I can control print settings from there but that doesn't solve my problem.

autocalibration qualification tool

HunterS hace 2 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like to see about having a line of code added to the auto calibrate lines of code that determines which qualification sphere i am using for the calibration. My facility uses 2 spheres at varying angles to calibrate but most of them get done  with a qualification vector of 0,0,1. We have 2 spheres hat we use in case one is sent out for calibration etc. So my idea is to add a line of code into autocalibration that allows for you to select the current probe being used for all probes and angles in the routine based off a trace field that was preselected at the begging of the program. So if i start autocalibration it doesn't just stop because qual tool1 was loaded for the first probe but its still looking for qual 2 for the second third fourth or even fifth probe.

Text and Cad Report Template

Marie hace 3 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS actualizado por davehocum hace 2 años 2

The "Text and CAD" Report template should label every feature in a set, not just the first. Example: pattern of 5 holes all positioned .010 ABC; the report image only points to the first feature, the other four are not labeled.

Machine/Vehicle Coordinate System Alignment

JIM hace 3 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

When CAD data is imported into PC-DMIS, the probe configuration is initially aligned to the CAD coordinate system. When the relationship between the part setup on the CMM table is not the same as the CAD coordinate system, the F5 function under the PART/MACHINE tab lets you change the relationship. This is simple when the relationship between the two coordinate systems is orthogonal in each axis. However, when there is an angular difference in each axis, it is somewhat more difficult. The angular relationship (Euler angles) must be determined for each axis rotation and input by clicking “adjust” in the PART/MACHINE tab.

When the fixture design and CMM programming is outsourced to third parties, this angular relationship cannot always be determined. A solution embedded into the software would be a

One suggestion is to allow multiple coordinate systems to be imported in PC-DMIS and allow alignments to be constructed from an imported coordinate system. That way, the fixture coordinate system can be used as the main coordinate system to align the probe and the results can be reported to the alignment constructed from the imported coordinate system.

Hide Measured Feature Hits

Jacob Cheverie hace 3 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Can we have a toggle added to measured features within the edit window like SHOW HITS=YES/NO? Some programs containing measured features with a large number of hits are tedious to scroll through.

Individual Clearance settings during calibration

Richmond hace 3 años en Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Give us the ability to have individual clearance settings for each tip during calibration. This would be extremely helpful for us with small CMM'S with probe racks. I have to do any that's rotated from A0 to A45 ( Z clearance is 6) separately from anything over A45 (z clearance is 12). Otherwise, I hit the prob rack.
