Thread Pitch Selection

J Rys 3 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Guillermo 3 months ago 1

It would be helpful to add a dropdown menu for thread pitch selection instead of requiring users to manually type in the pitch for each thread. The dropdown could include common inch and metric thread sizes, along with an option for LH threads, allowing users to quickly select the correct pitch from a list.  This would save time and make the thread creation process more consistent and user-friendly

Vision - I would like a switch to save ALL images captured by the camera during a program run

natanderson 5 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

In PCDMIS-Vision I would like a switch on/off setting to generate all images captured by the camera during a program run including the display of the measured points. This raw vision data would be extremely useful for root cause analysis.

It would be similar to the existing Diagnostics tool but available in run mode and not requiring to be turned on for each feature. Vision images tell the story of the measurement and are invaluable for troubleshooting and to support cross-sites communication.

Separate PCDMIS installation and license requirement. This is not suitable for enterprise roll-out. License details could be a requirement at runtime.

Current installation mechanism requires local login to PC.

This is time consuming and prevents parallel deployment.

Silent installation is documented... but still requires license and local login ?

A possibility to Add "Tolerances" to colors (RGB) like in Hexagon VISI or maybe in a simpler way

Ruben 8 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 3 months ago 2

We work more and more with colors and PMI`s to reduce drawings to a minimum.

At the moment we are at the point, that we can handle RGB colors in our CAD, in the CAM and in the Viewer.

But in our quality department is it not possbile to work with colors in a fast way, because PC-DMIS shows only RGB codes of the Surfaces (Information Surface)


We would wish a to have a possibility to see a tolerance for every RGB color like in Hexagon VISI.

In our business field all companys work already with the similar color code. (Meusburger, VISI, Hasco, VDWF, ....)


Than you don`t need so much time to add PMI`s, because the colors are so much faster and you understand in few seconds the parts and what you have to measure.


Example how you can at the moment see the color in PC-DMIS, but no Tolerance:

This is how you can see it in Hexagon Visi:

Dark Mode Enhancment

TMO 9 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Dark Mode already exists in the software but really deserves to be expanded on. Currently just the home page and the GD&T menus are affected with dark mode. Dark mode should change the whole UI.

Select funktion

dan brokstad 9 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Hi
In recent years, there have been more and more customers manufacturing plates for hydrogen fuel cells or heat exchanger with have many small CAD surfaces (thousands of surfaces). If you want to mark a certain area, you need to zoom in and mark from different angles to cover everything. This takes an enormous amount of time!!!

So I would like to have more options when selecting CAD surfaces. Like, select all, select all in my selection (through/not through/visible only and so on.

Input comment text size setting, especially when using full screen input comments

JeffCurths 1 year ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I'm currently developing Pc-Dmis programs to be used in production. We typically have operators that run parts on up to 4 cmms each - they're performing setup (no manual measurements), loading parts, following prompts and printing reports only. We utilize bar code / 2d matrix scanners, and when the operators have to enter data into an input comment either manually or with a scanner they cannot easily see the text that has been entered. We use full screen input boxes for user input. I do have some programs that have forms, but I am currently the only programmer at our facility that knows how to create them. Would it be possible to add a text size control (full formatting would be awesome, just like on the forum I'm using now) to input/comment dialog boxes?

Add mark used and global used as parameter set options for Auto Calibrate

Ben Powell 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Add Mark used and Global used as parameter set options for Auto Calibrate.

Doing this could eliminate the possibility of forgetting to update the Parameter set when the tips used in a measurement routine is updated.

Path Lines Shortcut Key

Ben Powell 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Function of ALT+P, or another shortcut key, to turn path lines on for highlighted code instead of all instead of having to right click to select
