Remembering past measurements

Mitja Smrekar 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 4

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.

Allow Max & Min Index of Polar Radius from a scanned feature

Ben Fisher 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 1 year ago 3

When finding a high point of a linear feature it's possible to use the Maxindex assignment relative to a specific axis. For example "maxindex(scan.x)". This will return the max value in X for that scan.


When scanning radial features and finding a max Polar Radius, one would expect to use "maxindex(scan.PR)" to return the max value for PR in that scan. Thus giving a high point of a radius for example.


This command doesn't work with polar radius.

Possibility to disable automatic highlighting of the feature on which the cursor is located

R. Kempe 9 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Robin Wick 9 months ago 2

There should be an option to disable automatic highlighting of a feature on which the cursor is placed.

When programming, the large shadow of the highlight can interfere. Especially with single circles this is a disadvantage.

At the moment there is only the possibility to change the color of the highlight.

We should be able to see 2 programs in the scream to be able to compare both

Diego Almeida 1 year ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Kingsld1 1 year ago 1

Sometimes we need to compare the programs in what is different.

Show constrained degrees of freedom in the geometric tolerance dialog window

Jacob Cheverie 1 year ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 1 year ago 4

It would be helpful to see the actively constrained degrees of freedom as the feature control frame is being built in the geometric tolerance dialog window. As an example, assume I have a primary datum plane (normal Z+), a secondary datum cylinder (axis along Z), and a tertiary datum cylinder (axis along Z). Then, as I build my feature control frame, the geometric tolerance dialog window shows me which degrees of freedom become constrained as the images below show:

Compare PC-DMIS programs side by side

Ben Powell 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Jörgen Andersson (vpt se) 1 year ago 3

Ability to have two PC-DMIS programs open side by side/one on each monitor to compare and copy and paste between them.

Alternatively, a PC-DMIS clipboard you can use to copy and paste code to and from.

Graphic Analysis View

Sara K 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by skatenutsmith 9 months ago 1

Add the ability to turn off previous graphic analysis views / show one graphic analysis view at a time. Adding graphic analysis views makes the snapshot for the report cluttered and hard to read. We should be able to disable / enable graphic analysis views on dimensions in the snapshot and/or recall a viewset to "reset" the graphic view.

Inspect Slideshow - Have the ability to assign more colors

Bmcdonald 2 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect 0

It would be good to be able to have more then just Red for failed dimension in the slideshow for inspect. I would like to see a minimum of 3 Colors. Green-passed, Yellow Warning (maybe a settable percentage), and Red Failed.

PC-DMIS restarts after n- runs

F. Ziegler 2 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated 2 years ago 0

When running a palette with Inspect, it often happens that PC-DMIS slows down over time and finaly crashes.

Can a way be added, that Inspect resp. PC-DMIS is restared after n-runs?
