Create an actual model from a point cloud
I would like actually create surfaces based on a point cloud
Offer a multi-execute capability so you can get it to execute a specified Measurement Routine 'n' times
....like the MultiExecute Wizard can do.
Another good option would be to insert a picture from…
Another good option would be to insert a picture from camera (within Optiv machines) among report pages and due to that have an opportunity to see the part details
Few points to be added in Fusion
Hi,
as CMM programmer I would like to appreciate to have some more options in PC-DMIS Fusion reporting
Printing CAD report:
To have header on every page.
To hide some labels or to have an option to drag them to another report page.
If I rotate CAD on one page, it stays in this position on all pages. I would like to have different CAD positions within pages (each page different CAD position).
Evaluation of distance with both feature displayed (i.e. two points distance - I need to see related lines to both points, not just to one as it is)
I will probably add more points over time as I started to work with PC-DMIS Fusion

Enhanced Move Point Creation Along Surface Point Vector in PC-DMIS
I would like to submit a feature request for a future update of PC-DMIS. The goal is to improve programming efficiency and safety by introducing an option to create a Move Point directly along the vector of a selected point or surface.Currently, creating clearance or approach moves often requires manual coordinate calculation (\(X, Y, Z\)) or utilizing complex expressions to offset a position relative to a measured point. Introducing a native "Move Point Along Vector" feature would significantly streamline this workflow.
Proposed Functionality & User Interface Integration
- Context Menu / Dialog Option:
- When creating a
MOVE/POINTcommand, users should have a checkbox or dropdown option labeled "Along Vector" or "Offset by Vector". - Alternatively, right-clicking an existing point feature (e.g.,
PNT1) could offer an option: "Create Move Point Along Vector".
- When creating a
- Input Parameters:
- Reference Feature: The source point or surface from which the vector is derived (e.g.,
PNT1). - Distance (Offset): A positive or negative numerical value representing how far along the vector the Move Point should be placed.
- Positive value: Moves away from the surface (clearance/retract).
- Negative value: Moves toward/into the surface (approach).
- Reference Feature: The source point or surface from which the vector is derived (e.g.,
- Code Execution / Command Line Representation:
The command in the Edit Window could look similar to this:pcdmis
Kód používajte opatrne.PC-DMIS would dynamically calculate the absolute \(X, Y, Z\) coordinates based onMOVE/POINT, ALONG_VECTOR, FEATURE=PNT1, DISTANCE=50.0PNT1.X + (PNT1.I * 50),PNT1.Y + (PNT1.J * 50), andPNT1.Z + (PNT1.K * 50).
Key Benefits
- Increased Efficiency: Eliminates the need for manual math or writing custom expressions for simple approach and retract moves.
- Improved Safety: Reduces human error when calculating clearance points on complex, angled surfaces.
- Parametric Flexibility: If the nominal position of the reference point changes (e.g., due to a CAD update or alignment shift), the Move Point updates automatically because it is linked to the feature's vector.
- Cleaner Code: Replaces complex script-like workarounds with a clean, native PC-DMIS command.
Thank you for considering this request to enhance the offline and online programming experience in PC-DMIS.
Support single database for all machine data
have a function where you can retrieve data from multiple machines (parts) and have it displayed on one screen, like you had in Metrology Reporting?
Option to Turn Off Results Going Red if Not Measured
Have a way to turn off the results going red if you do not measure them, so you don't have to remeasure the entire part necessarily to turn the other results back to black and not appear out of spec in red.
Select Probe Mode: Question pop up of moving cursor to end of routine, Option: to ask again or not, (to be under Warnings, in F5 settings)
After selecting probe mode, and cursor is not at the end of the routine, the pop up that asks whether to move cursor to the end of routine, should have the option to ask again or not, and have the answer stored in Warnings under F5 settings.
New GeoTol available as JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) or local Industrial standards.
It is often necessary to load PMI for local national standards.
We want to provide many customers with an efficient experience of easily creating routines from CAD files, either directly or through optional changes to the way GD & T is calculated.
