In offline, when executing a program, there should be slider in the  execution window, to speed up or slow down the animation.

Set the limit angle value to measure 180° bends

Nicolas Pétré vor 6 Jahren in Metrology Software / TubeShaper aktualisiert von anthony vianna vor 3 Jahren 3

Today, 180° bends require additionnal point when the angle is higher than 178° (?).

This limit value should be editable (tupe inspectionsettings) to be able to operate the same way on slightly smaller angles (175° for inst.).

Remove default checkbox from location dimension window, or make it an optional choice.

jmannes vor 7 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von Matthew vor 4 Jahren 11

Under INSERT|DIMENSION|LOCATION the checkbox for "Auto" is the default and there is no way to change it. That is the most annoying checkbox in the world. Seldom do I want to dimension numerous axis' at the same time. If I do, I can choose them on my own without having PC_DMIS "help" me.

Support External USB or Wifi Lights

Ken Renninger vor 8 Jahren in Metrology Software / Notification Center aktualisiert von neil kay vor 5 Jahren 1 2 duplikate

Add the ability to use a LED WiFi lite so that the machine events can be seen from the other side of a shop floor location, or from outside a inspection room.

Autogenerated evaluation report headline/comment

Jörgen Andersson (vpt se) vor 8 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von neil kay vor 5 Jahren 9 2 duplikate

When creating an evaluation of any sort, I would like to have the option to choose whether or not to let PC-DMIS create a report comment/headline based on the type of evaluation and the selected features. A simple textbox along with a checkbox would work fine. The textbox displays the autogenerated comment and the checkbox enables the user to have it display on the report.

Modus operandi:

I choose to evaluate a LOCation with ONE axis. I the autogenerated comment would display "Dimension <nominal X> <tolerance> for <featurename>". When I click the checkbox, the textbox would be enabled, allowing me to change the autogenerated text. With the checkbox checked, the comment is placed before the evaluation. The checkbox has two functions: it lets me edit the text and it tells PC-DMIS to add the comment. If the checkbox is unchecked, no comment will be added.

If we choose several dimensions in the evaluation, the comment should read "Dimensions for <featurename>". This would work the same way over all evaluations, GD&T and regular dimensions.

Unprotect Protected Mode while Program is Open

Barry Buechner (bfire85) vor 4 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert vor 1 vor einem Jahr 2

Allow programmer to unprotect a program when program is ran in Protected Mode. 


Current State: In protected mode, if an operator runs a part and the part is out of spec or there needs to be further analysis, the programmer has to close out the program, unprotect PC-DMIS, then re-run the part to do the analysis. 

Real-life situation: Program was ran in Protected Mode and flatness was out of tolerance. In order to add graphical analysis to the report to see "where" the high and low points are, I need to close out the program, enter the password to unprotect the program, then open the program again, add the graphical analysis, save, then rerun the part.

Future State: To save the steps and time, it would be nice to have the ability to unprotect PC-DMIS when the program is still open, add the necessary adjustments, save, and re-enter Protected Mode.

Browse Button in the “New Measurement Routine” Dialog

Thomas Schopp vor 6 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von neil kay vor 5 Jahren 3

It would be nice to have a browse Button in the “New Measurement Routine” Dialog to create a new Routine in a Subfolder from the “Default Measurement Routine Directory”.

A lot of customers have a Folder Structure depend on their Customers, for Example:

Measurement Routines

  • Volkswagen
  • Audi
  • BMW

Etc. Actual it’s not possible to create a new Routine in the right Folder directly. Each new Routine exists as file corpse in the “Default Measurement Routine Directory” after Save as in a Subfolder.

Bring back an old function that when viewing a report in the report window you could be taken back to that dimension in the program for editing.

Tim H vor 8 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von prasanna vor 1 vor einem Jahr 9

this function was in older versions. quite handy when proving a program or when dimensions get updated. Way faster than the find function.

create balloon drawing with OCR

mihael rakic vor 2 Jahren in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS aktualisiert von PrasannaS vor 2 Jahren 3

It would be nice that PC-DMIS users can create balloon drawings with the OCR technology in PC-DMIS. PC-DMIS already recognizes the dimensions displayed on the 2D-drawing. It would be a nice add-on that PC-DMIS also inserts a balloon number next to that dimension, so that users don't need to create balloon drawings in 3rd party software.
