Min Max point number matching

Mike Rose 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 4

If the point numbers in the min/max list matched the actual feature point number then I wouldn't have to rely on the low screen resolution on graphical analysis to find where the min/max locations are.

Point Auto Trigger Cylinder length control.

Lord_Warfield 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

Currently, Point Auto Trigger only allows for a radius to be set. This creates a cylinder that has no ends and allows for points to be taken anywhere inside the diameter created...even if its 1000mm away from the target. Often times the point is taken on the wrong side of the part by the operator... Please add a control for the max distance from the surface similar to that used for laser scanner features.

Graphic Simultaneous requirement

Lord_Warfield 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

Create 3d Cad features from the features created in the program. Use the upper and lower tolerance to create boundaries then use the measured value to confirm the features are in tolerance visually. Apply datum shift to allow a virtual fit up. Features that don't "fit up" appear red and a list of features is also reported "like collation detection". Works with legacy or exactmeasure...

CLEAR instructions on how to turn the alarm off

Kingsld1 8 years ago in Metrology Software / Notification Center updated by neil kay 5 years ago 6

I've not found how to turn of the alarm when it's in a loop anywhere in the help files unless I've missed it from going mad at the sound; Short of turning the volume levels off, which defeats the purpose.

ABSOLUTE MOVE POINT

ABSOLUTE MOVE POINT SHOULD BE VIEWED AS A VISIBLE OBJECT LIKE A REGULAR POINT SO IT CAN BE EASILY FOR MODIFYING

Include XYZ and LRA error results in the report.

George Koskinas 8 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 5 years ago 3

As many benders have the ability to display separately the XYZ & LRA errors / corrections and the operator can opt to directly edit & apply these values after a performed inspection, it is desired to include them in the report (Supravision Network protocol fields: $exyz & $elra).

Hi George-

When you say “include XYZ and LRA error results in the report”, you don’t mean our report, but rather the SuperVision file, correct?

We have filed a story for this: TUBE-8933 “Write out eXYZ and eLRA in $$$ file.

Thank you for your feedback

​Add (enhance)​ the ability to create multiple auto features in on go.

Jon Wood (NinjaBadger) 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 6

Add (enhance) the ability to create multiple auto features in on go.

I know you can create multiple auto features in one go by left click dragging a box around them, but it always picks up several 'hidden' features which aren't wanted, and yo get no say in the order of them.

What would be ideal would be ctrl+click (like selecting multiple discrete items from a list box) to select multiple features at once.

Add select tool inside auto feature dialog box when extracting features from pointcloud without CAD file

Barny Hiller 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

When extracting 3D features such as cylinders, cones and other features of size without CAD model, select tool would be great addition to PCDIMS. Also extracting and exporting 2D splines from pointcloud to different file types to make tool path definitions from the scan.
