Evaluation of Envelope Modifier (ISO 14405-1) In the Report

Ceasar Jones 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

For reference: I'm using PC-DMIS 2020 R2 SP8. 


I've been seeing the E modifier next to dimensions in recent drawings released to the ISO 14405-1 specification. When I go to look at the report to see what the two measurements (LP and GN) look like for a shaft, it appears that the lower limit is the only one that has been assigned a modifier (E) when it's clear that the upper limit was evaluated with the LP modifier and the lower limit was evaluated with the GN modifier.

My issue with the report is: it's not explicitly clear which modifier is being used. This isn't an issue for your average metrologist/CMM programmer, but to the outsider, it can be problematic and cause some confusion.


Can we have an update to the report so that when the E modifier is used, the report clearly states which modifier was used to evaluate the upper/lower limits of a shaft/hole?


I can easily work around this by reporting two separate dimensions with the appropriate modifiers for each, but I shouldn't have to do this.

INSPECT Slideshow - possibility to add additional lines for better assignment of e.g. distance features.

OGrosch 3 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect 0

i am currently working in inspect 5.1
Currently, the slideshow does not display well angle, distances etc. that refer to more than one element.

Is it planned to imply the possibility of additional dimension lines?

Dear Team,


During the position tolerance callout, we don't have the separate column for position tolerance update . Instead of that every time we modifying in report callout.

In addition to +/- tolerance, if you provide the position tolerance column it would be very useful.

If any other method available in current state, please let me know.

Regards

Inspect Pallet Playlist add multiple pallets with spacing controls

DSH 4 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect 0

Many customers have large enough machines and smaller parts facilitating the ability to load multiple fixtures on the machine.  It would be helpful to have the ability to specify spacing between fixtures to execute sequentially.

This could possibly be done with fixture alignments rather than spacing for provision where the spacing may not be uniform.

Vectors of deviation in CAD protocol

Dominik Braun 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Hello,

we need to have the option to show the vectors of the deviation in our protocol.

It is possible in the graphical window in PC-DMIS, so why isnt it possible in the "CADONLY" protocol e.g.?

Here is a screenshot what I mean:

Thanks in advance

Datum feature in edit feature window

Garrett W 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Trevor McLaughlin 4 years ago 1

Add a feature in the screen for editing a feature (plane, cylinder, etc) to assign it as a datum instead of going through dimension datum screen and/or gd&t dimension.

Enable "To Points" toggle in all auto-features

DAN_M_413 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Regarding the "To Points" toggle in the auto-feature dialogue box..


Would it be possible to make this toggle work for every type of auto-feature?

Right now, you can only use "To Points" on autocircle, autoplane, and autocylinder. The toggle is "grayed out" for lines, cones, spheres, etc. Adding this functionality would be a good enhancement IMO. 

Thanks for your time,

-Dan
