Integrated PC-DMIS QDAS converter

Simon Prodan 9 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 3

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

Ability to manage all reports

Zeljko 9 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 5

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"

Save the PC-DMIS version/SP/Schema so that we can identify what version of PC-DMIS is needed to open this file.

Matt Beecher 9 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil Challinor 3 months ago 2

Can we get some way to record what version/schema of PC-DMIS is required to open a particular PC-DMIS file?  With the rolling cutoff and some users having a mix of schema for their routines, I fear difficulties with using the migration utilities in the future.

I like to get the actual selected and executed Miniroutine(s) by automation

frank herr 10 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I like to get the actual selected and executed Miniroutine(s) by automation. A function like GetActiveMiniRoutine() on Part level can be a solution.

Vision - Possibility to use live view like a projector by using 2D dxf Contour shown in Live Image

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.

Why you don´t have a way or option to save a New file choosing by us a other folder?

SCM2024 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 2 years ago 0

Good Morning,

In the home page when I create a new file, I can not save my new file routine on a folder choosing by me.

Beacause I think there is a default folder already defined by PC-DMIS, but it is a folder that is located in an APPdata folder. This means we have to copy to the folder we want.

Can you do an improvement so that I can choose a folder to save my file?

Best Regards

AUTO PLANE RINGS

barnett_james 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil Challinor 3 months ago 3

I would like to see an option where we can adjust the distance between multiple rings when checking a radial auto plane. We of course have the option to adjust the size of the rings but, to my knowledge, don't have the option to adjust the distance between.

autocalibrate probes within a single routine based on last calibrated date

Stephan Manley 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Patrick Gendron 2 years ago 1

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

Alphabetize Report Option

cstearns 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like an option to alphabetize inspection reports.  I typically inspect parts to a ballooned drawing.  I resort to saving all my dimensions until the end of my program and name them BALLOON1, BALLOON2, etc.  The problem is when I have a part with hundreds of balloons, I'm hopping around from alignment to alignment and workplane to workplane. It would save time if I could create the dimensions as I'm creating features so that I'm recalling alignments and switching workplanes less often.
