Enhance vision probe support - lighting

Kyle Brummans 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 7

Vision Probing is great (for the most part).  However it would be nice to see a smoother transition when programming between two dissimilar machines or even CMM-V.   Problems with settings translating between different style light configurations can pose some strange difficulites.  Mostly settings getting lost or hidden. 


Example:  Right now I have a single tier ring light, my customer has a triple tiered ring light.  I write programs where in sections I turned the ring light off - when the program is transported to their system - it is on.  I am told this is because their setup is different. 


If this were a probing Cmm I would simply select a different module/tip etc and move on - right in the probe toolbox.

Open Template / Program Template Search Path

Kyle Brummans 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 4

Very Simple Idea. \

Add a set search path option for 'Template Programs'. 

Add to the drop down menu under 'Open' ; 'Open Template'. 


This then drives to your set search path for template programs.

Comment Yes / No Auto-continue execution

davehocum 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 6

Change the Comment Yes / No Auto-continue execution Default settings to be uncheck (Off). 

Every Time I want to place a Yes / No Comment into the program I have too always uncheck the "Auto-continue execution". If I don't uncheck this check box I will get a Warning message "Enter an integer between 1 and 600" after selecting "OK".

Collision Detection

John Vernon 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 4

Make the Collision Detection button active without first generating path lines. If I must generate path lines before running collision detection why not just make it part of the button click?

Could we add to Inspect configuration settings for PCDMIS behavior.  For...

Could we add to Inspect configuration settings for PCDMIS behavior.  

For example, PCDMIS visible/invisible


Also, I am finding that when running PCDMIS under inspect, it is modifying the PCDMIS layout.  I am not sure whether it is Inspect or SlideShow that is doing so yet.  Using Inspect 3.2.  What I can see is that the Edit windows is closed, and all of the toolbars are cramped to the left side.

SlideShow template creation - Allow for further customization of label (dimension controls)

Guillermo 8 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by KAY Neil 5 years ago 5

SlideShow allows the user to grab any dimension from PCDMIS routine and annotate the slide with that element as a label control.  However, it does not offer or allow for enough customization like PCDMIS STI+ did.

For example, say a dimension location that has XYD is selected.  the control should allow user to only add D, or Y and D, etc.  Instead of all dimensions.  The label should allow us to specify applying color (Green, Yellow, Red) to percent of tolerance for any dimension.  This could be via a background color for the label.


Suggestion for leader lines.  Line color, End type Arrow or dot, relative to two features checkbox.  If the dimension label is for a distance or an angle for example, leader line (relative to two features) could be made to point to two areas on screen.


Example screen capture of two Location dimension attached.  It would be nice if user would see list at left showing available report axes and select the ones to show and use for label.  When evaluating Green,Yellow, Red, only that dimension axes would be evaluated.

romeo matkovic 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Gábor Tóth 6 years ago 6

Dialog Save As or Open in win10 with 2018R1 doesn't work. PCDMIS doesn't see any network mapped drives or folder from Quick Access. Please fix that. because we cant work without that.

Playlist end of execution should show a summary containing all the measured items, not just the last

P. Bagniuk 8 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by neil kay 6 years ago 8

Seamless routines execution without summary screen confirmation after each routine.

Instead, one overall summary screen after playlist is executed.
