Need to retain the actual data points on every measurement piece, after finishing the CNC run. This actual point data per piece will be useful for re-evaluate the dimension without actual part needed.

Hey everyone,

I didn't find anything listed about this so I figured I would put it up. I use 2-3 monitors at a time when using PC-DMIS. I would like the ability to be able to place different parts of PC-DMIS on different monitors when programming and working.

Examples would be:

-Live view on separate monitor

-Report Window on separate monitor

-Edit Window on separate monitor

-CAD View on separate monitor

-Measurement tools in your own locations

-The ability to have that layout,  the size and locations of windows saved for when PC-DMIS is opened next.

Essentially a user could make their PC-DMIS interface setup how they want it when using it whether they use 1,2 or 3 monitors, they could utilize all of them if given the chance.

This sounds like it would be a hard task to change this, but I know it would make a lot of users happy. I think it would be an opportunity to keep some things loaded separately though when loading PC-DMIS and fix certain crashes when too many things are open that are not in use. This would allow users to have only the tools needed for their job open while efficiently switching from task to task and checking their work at the same time without having to find an open window somewhere while utilizing more desktop space for users who like to see more at once.

It would be nice to have PC-DMIS QDAS converter integrated inside PC DMIS, with intuitive K-Fields set-up menu and possibility to export all PC DMIS Dimension functionalities to .DFQ files

If i have to measure 10 same parts, it will be great if there is ability to edit reports from 1 to 10, even if i executed program for each. For now, it's only "View last execute report mode"

Currently PC-DMIS has a square spacer that can be set for auto planes. It would be nice if we could specify the length and width of the spacer

As more and more customers are asking us to scan (with a probe) all features, they also got their standards for using the filters in scanning. In those standards, they also ask for a specific UPR which relates to the current diameter. For example, Ø8 and smaller require a UPR setting of 15. Ø8-Ø25 require UPR 50 etc.

I'd like to add this as a smart parameter in the Measurement Strategy Editor to make sure we also use the correct settings.

When measuring with the optics, it should be possible to superimpose an overlay on the live image.

Similar to a wireframe model or a DXF contour, the lines of the nominal geometries should lie over the camera image.

This allows the operator to visually compare the actual and nominal contours, just like with a projector. Furthermore, the customer wishes to carry out manual measurements in the live view between the nominal and actual contour. Such as distances, angles etc.

This would save lots of time for some parts. Think of it like the shield from the Dune movies. The clearcube should form around the part

I'm looking to have an auto calibrate command for all probes/tips within a single routine that have been calibrated outside a specified range. With this, it would also be nice to have a way to see all used probes and tips within the routine without having to go into each probe individually and select mark used. Currently we calibrate probes by opening each probe (F9), selecting mark used and looking at the calibration dates/times. If it has been outside of 24 hours we typically calibrate only the necessary tips. I'd like a way to do this automatically, and to be able to use this command from a form.

Thanks
