Allow Additional Pre-Hit / Retract Distance When calibrating an analogue probe with DCC+DCC

david carter 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

When calibrating an analogue probe, due to the required number of hits (25) it can take a long time. To alleviate this reducing the pre-hit / Retract to say 0.5mm will improve the throughput. This however only works if the tip position is known. If using DCC+DCC calibration could we not have an additional field so the tip position is found with a user-defined larger pre-hit / Retract and then reverts to the smaller user-defined  pre-hit / retract post finding tip.

Create a public API for external automation

Kyle Brummans 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

Create an API platform that is friendly to programmers (non-pcdmis code) to access and manipulate information and processes in PC°DMIS. (Example: https://www.pcdmisforum.com/forum/pc-dmis-enterprise-metrology-software/pc-dmis-code-samples/22927-pcdmis-automation-with-visual-csharp-2010-express)

This would allow companies, labs, and hexagon the ability to integrate with more softwares.

Stop Universal Updater offering pre-release builds

Mitja Smrekar 5 years ago in Metrology Software / Universal Updater updated by neil kay 4 years ago 6

Universal Updater offers me Pre-Release versions of PC-DMIS 2019 R1. I do not want them! Make an option in Universal Updater to enable or disable pre-release notifications for updates. I only want to install final releases

Enhance vision probe support - lighting

Kyle Brummans 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 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.

☑ Override favorites to top of list - Sorting for Alignments /Dimensions

Kyle Brummans 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 2

The ability to favorite a feature and sort those to the top of a list in alignments or when dimensioning.

(Perhaps a check box to  ☑ Override favorites to top of list)

Many times I'm referencing a common datum feature and have to continuously hunt for it in the list.

Open Template / Program Template Search Path

Kyle Brummans 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 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.

Markers for flow control commands

Bill Kulpa 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

I'd like to have the ability to press a button and have PC-DMIS place a book mark on every flow control operator I have in a program. When I'm editing it would be much easier to find them by jumping from book mark to book mark rather than having to look at every line of code. Often it's easy to miss one!

Maybe have an automated book mark option with different types of commands:

button for label

Button for flow controls

button for types of features with sub menu for different types of features

Call up a saved MSE group in Auto feature dialog

Kingsld1 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 1

Add the ability to recall a Measurement Strategy Editor group directly in a Auto Feature Dialog box.   Should result in less opening and closing of dialog boxes.

stylus calibration standard deviation

Bill Kulpa 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

I'd like to have a graphic view of the roundness deviation of a stylus to determine what points on the stylus seem to be giving me the deviation.
