Change Label Colors

S. Ordelmans vor 4 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like to be able to change the colors, both background and line colors, from the standard PC-DMIS labels.

There is already a possibility to change colors related to the view and other functionalities. Perhaps this menu can include the reporting label colors.

In this menu you could then select the standard PC-DMIS label colors and change them to your company colors.


Currently we are changing every single label manually to adjust them to our company colors (blue lines will be black en the background colors will match our company's colors).

This takes a extremely long time, but with this option mentioned above everyone could change it instantly to their own liking, with the possible added benefit that your reports match your company colors for professionalization.

2021.1__Add unequal tolerance zones for analysis view command

DAN_M_413 vor 4 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von Aaron Baldauf vor 4 Jahren 1

Using 2021.1, an "analysisview" command of a feature control frame that uses the "U Modifier" will ONLY allow us to put on the inspection report an "analysisview" of a BILATERAL tolerance band. 


Please add the capability for us to show the tolerance band as UNEQUAL.

Find hole available for concentric cilinder scan (Auto element)

Doeko bv vor 4 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Within the auto elements of  the circle we have the option find hole with adaptive circle scan. Unfortunately this is not possible for concentric circle scan in the auto element of the cilinder. 


It would be an advantage if the "find hole" option would be available for the concentric circle scan of  the auto-element cilinders.

Pointcloud to CAD alignments

dan brokstad vor 4 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Often when making a point cloud to CAD alignment on sheet metal, the cloud don't fit (see A.JPG).

This is what I think because of the sheet metal can be wrong shape with some degree so it fit better on the opposite side.

I would like to have a CAD Controls in the alignments window (see B.JPG), so I can choose some CAD surface to fit my points (see C.JPG) or you can say as well like "helping the alignment calculation".

Create a full circle from two or three separate partial circles.

Daniel Pearce vor 4 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von Barry Buechner (bfire85) vor 4 Jahren 1

There are times when you can only measure a portion of a circle with a specific probe orientation. It would be great to be able to create a full circle from two or more partial measures circles.

Report Window Print Setup – Output Configuration – Add Report Name configuration

davehocum vor 4 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert vor 4 Jahren 1

Add Name setting same as the Excel Form Report - Report Settings dialog window to the Report Window Print Setup – Output Configuration dialog window.

Excel Form Report - Report Settings

Name - This option determines a file name based on your selections from a series of lists. The list provides a trace field value to create a name rule. You must select options from a series of lists that supports the desired report mode.

MBD/PMI/GD&T with Vision

Add the ability to select GD&T with vision probes.  The system could use measurement strategies for vision or run something similar to autotune to set lighting for each feature on the first execution.

Paste with pattern dimension names

Kingsld1 vor 5 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von Krishna Chaitanya Velisetty vor 4 Jahren 6

PC Dmis has the ability to keep feature names and add an index number to the name when using paste with pattern.   Being able to do something similar to Dimension names seems like a logical and useful extension.  Dimension names could then match up to a bubbled print.

Quick Feature Point Type Toggle

Allan vor 5 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

It would be useful to be able to overide the type of point that PC-DMIS has created when using Quick Features.  It does a very good job of recognizing the type of point based on the CAD surface, but in some cases the programmer may wish to override this.  

The ability to program an Edge Point when the software has (correctly) identified an Angle Point in the CAD is a good example.
