Feature names on profile dimension report

Cesar Cerecer 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 2

Be able to know which point is which on profile dimension, on the report  "FEATURE" column with the report textual analysis enable, in FEATURE column instead of having  "Set" and nothing more, it would be useful to know on each row all the point feature name selected for instance PNT1, PNT2 and so on, instead of having only Hit1, Hit2... on column HIT.


Thank you

flip start and end angles along with Direction with a single toggle button

damonh 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

This would mainly be for a series of radii on a part, where the intent is to create auto circles in a sequence and maintain a fluid motion of the cmm (no clearplanes or avoidance moves between).  Currently there is about a 2deg indent from start and end angles, which is helpful, however, when selecting cad surfaces for radii where there is a back and forth between corner and fillet radii, there needs to be a changing the start/end angles from the default (based on right hand rule i assume) and a change of the direction so that the cmm can get from one radius to the next fluidly.  What would be handy is a single toggle button (similar to the current toggle for "flip vector" for surface and angle vectors in the circle auto feature 'feature properties' area), which would simply flip the start and end angle values as well as the direction.

Status Window needed Improvements

davehocum 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

Status Window

Add capabilities to view and interact with the Edit Window and Graphics Window. There should be more user control for the Status Window. With added settings to change what the Status Window will display and interact with the Edit Window and Graphics Window. For example the Edit Window in Summary mode using the Status Window you cannot view the Move Point, Comments, Groups, Alignments, variables and much more. Right now, all you can view in the Status Window is features and dimensions. There is no direct interaction from the Status Window to the Edit Window and Graphics Window for any editing. Example, if the Status could view all of the dimensions as shown in the Report Window. Then have direct interaction with the dimensions in the Status Window to the Edit Window and Graphics Window.

I'd like to be able to define/assign datums when I create features. This would ideally include ANY type of feature creation: Auto, Constructed, Measured, Generic.

optional probing sets

Bill Kulpa 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

I'd like to be able to make sets of optional probing settings for different probe heads. Or have a drop down selection with the basic setting for different probe heads.

We have 3 different scanning probe systems and I'd like to be able to enter the basic setting offline easily.

Bring back the old "Merge" and "Replace" buttons when importing additional cad models

Trevor McLaughlin 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

Maybe it's just me but I found it easier to click "merge" or "replace" when importing additional cad models. At some point a few years ago, the wording was changed and the user now has to read the question then answer "yes" or "no."


New Way:

Question: Do you want to merge?

< Yes > = No

<No> = Replace


Old Way:

<Merge> = Merge

<Replace> = Replace


I like the old way. Who's with me on this one?
