Move probe to center of calibration sphere before next rotation
In the calibration cycle, the possibility that the probe moves to the center of the calibration sphere before the next rotation move. This is useful if using a small CMM. It saves room and the eliminates the chance of a collision with the CMM support legs.
Scale behavior with 4k resolution on monitors should be reworked
We have new workstations with 4k monitors but the behavior of PCDMIS was disappointing while switching to the desired resolution with suitable scaling for our monitors.
We are using PCDMIS 2019 R2, with NVIDIA Quadro P4000
Here some screenshots for demonstration
Current Windows settings with 1920x1080 / 100%.
So it looks now with loss of edge sharpness, which has particularly bad effects on the graphics window.
This is our solution at the moment, but the screen is slightly blurry.
We had imagined differently, especially working with CAD models.
If we set the better resolution and the appropriate scaling for our monitors, it looks like this:
Now switch to
now it looks so after PCDMIS restart on the same monitor
Font and icons seems to be ok but the report window is not really usable without up scaling.
With up scaled settings e.g. 200% in the report window it looks not really nice, moreover the labels inside status
window are not scalable. You need a magnifying glass for this. ;-)
Please fix this behavior. Thanks
I would like to calculate the area focus and the area of scans
We have irregular contours (turtle, Easter eggs, seahorses) and need the area and their from closed scans.
Our competitors are already working with this for a long time.
Datum Precedence Table Within Alignment Utilities
As a new user I feel a useful feature would be a live datum precedence table that updates as datums are locked down, identical to the one used in the CMM 101 class. So for instance in the alignment utilities dialog you select PLN1 as your Z+ level, the table updates with check marks under Z, V, and W. At which point you can clearly see what remains to be locked down (X,Y,U).
in the Programming Mode (CTRL+F4), should have virtual joystick, so it is easy to control the movement of CMM.
PCDMIS Settings copy from public
Will be useful to have automatic procedure when we install new pcdmis release when installation procedure finish to ask if you want to copy settings or not from previous version. For example we use our own reporting and QDAS settings and always I need to copy - paste all folders from public from previous version to new.
When we install new SP we need to be careful because new installation overwrite old settings with default.
window improvement ( size, hide etc)
Hi,
It would be great if improve the windows.
-Feature theoretical area maybe changeable hide /extend.
Feature list long (in red circle) sometimes would be great if extend by modify the full size of windows bottom-right corner pulling...
Probe the intersection point between two straights with a small angle
I would like that existed an option to be able to probe manually the intersection point between two straights that form a small angle (5 degrees, for example).
This option was implemented in Docs or GTube.
PCDLRN.exe closing (Exit) improvement.
PCDLRN.exe closing issue is one of PC-DMIS most coming issue that never been completely solved. PC-DMIS is the only software that I have ever used that needed the Task manager to end the software at this level. How many years will it take Hexagon to completely fix this issue. If you use PC-DMIS, you will sooner than later get to know the Task Manager very well.
