Avoidance Moves Clearance Cube

Valentin Tarba 8 år siden i Metrology Software / PC-DMIS opdateret af neil kay 5 år siden 1

We can change the movements for Clearance Cube to UseTipVector or Axis but a more useful tool can be UseFeatureVector ( the movements to clearance cube to use the feature vector and to activate from F5. Avoidance moves does the same thing but it will be useful in clearance cube motions).What do you think?

Change the coloring of the coordinate system to the conventionally used XYZ=RGB.

George Koskinas 8 år siden i Metrology Software / TubeShaper opdateret af neil kay 5 år siden 1

The currently-used coloring, XYZ=BGR, is very confusing for most 3D CAD software users.

Add scanner support

Daniel Hansen 8 år siden i Metrology Software / Inspect opdateret af Brodsgaard 4 år siden 15

I suggest to add support for scanner. The simplest way would be that when typing a part number (without the PRG extension) and the enter key, then the part program starts (simple HID support). If  the part program not exists, just a simpel text somewhere shows a error message so it is possible to scan (or enter the keyboard) again. No window to close before trying again.

It should be possible to scan direct after the INSPECT application has started.

Program and Revision Change Control

Chris Tinker 8 år siden i Metrology Software / PC-DMIS opdateret af neil kay 5 år siden 2

As the Manufacturing Industry heads towards automation and more CMM demand, companies like Boeing are asking for a formal Program Change Control Process such as Siemens Team Center. PC-DMIS should be able to accommodate this need.

When a CMM program is released, it should have an associated revision. When changed/updated for any reason, the prior revision program should be archived, documented change history recorded, and the new revision program released for use.

Bring back Ctrl + Left click to select feature on 2017 R2

Jonny 8 år siden i Metrology Software / PC-DMIS opdateret af neil kay 5 år siden 2

In 2017 R2 the ability to press Ctrl + Left click to select a feature has been removed. now you have to go the longer way of right clicking and navigating to the 'move to' option.

bring it back !

can the min or max show the feature out of tolerance instead of it averaging to the measure feature to be acceptable

Dominic Abate 8 år siden i Metrology Software / PC-DMIS opdateret af Kingsld1 4 år siden 3

I'm measuring a cylinder on one of our parts and the max was out of tolerance.  the report was not showing it out of tolerance because it takes the average of the min and max.   the operator did not catch this and the part was shipped to the customer.  is there a was to report the min and max as a out of tolerance feature on the report?

Saving measurement routines (programs) as compressed files.

John Riggins 8 år siden i Metrology Software / PC-DMIS opdateret af neil kay 5 år siden 0

At our facility we save the "program" for every part that is measured. We started doing this several years ago in order to be able to review the actual "program" that had been processed by inexperienced operators. This practice has continued to this day. We don't often review these saved programs, but this practice has saved more money over the long run than it has cost.

The major "cost" is drive space. This saving uses up lots of disk drive space.

It would be great if we had the option to "save as" a compressed file.

Why don't we have toolbar icons for scans?
