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.

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.

Bulk Program Editor

Dynamic 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 2

Tool or script that can open all programs in a directory and do a "Find and Replace" on program code. For example: if you had a command like EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; C:\FOLDER\EXTERNALCOMMANDTHATIWANTTORUN.EXE and you wanted to change it to EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; C:\FOLDER\DIFFERENTEXTERNALCOMMANDTHATIWANTTORUN.EXE, currently you have to open-edit-close on all of the programs. In situations where there are many programmers or there are many programs, this would be a useful tool for managing the edits required on an entire directory.

Add the ability to delete or transform multiple CAD assemblies and one time.

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

Under CAD assemblies, I would like to be able to select multiple assemblies, to either delete, or even transform. As it is I have to select one at a time. When using 30+ assemblies it can take sometime to transform or delete.

​Min / Max point on colormap

dan brokstad 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 2

Min / Max point on colormap is not representative to surface.
This point will "nearly" always be on the surface edge!
And this value is used when you evaluate Profile surface dimension.
If you take a look at pictures below and special on the colormap / colormap scale. 99 percent of this surface is green and orange. The Profile surface dimension value should be around 0.5 but it is 0.756 (ASME).
This because of what I believe error from the scanner.
Different ways to solve this could be:
Let the Min / Max be on a colormap "area" and not as a point.
Or an outlier filter...

Out of tolerance first/Out of tolerance last

Valentin Tarba 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 5

Everyone knows the Report Template TEXTANDCAD_OOT.RPT

A lot of my customers ask me for a report template which add the OOT dimensions first in the report or last in the report.I made a template for them but it will be nice to be added as a default in report window.What do you think?
