Window Menu shortcuts

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

I, like others, use shortcut keys to save time while using PC-DMIS and other programs.  When I have multiple programs open in PC-DMIS I would greatly prefer to be able to edit them side by side, but that is not possible currently.  When I open the Window menu with Alt+W to switch from one program to the next, the current open program has a shortcut key of 1 and the second has a shortcut of 2.  This is fine, except the report window and graphic display window also have shortcuts of 1 and 2 (see attached image, filenames have been cut out).  My suggestion is simple.  Change the Graphic Display Window shortcut to G, the Report window to R, etc.

    Option to load CAD file based on user input

    Chris Rogers 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 9

    Add the ability for users to code in an import CAD file based on variables.  IE:

    What part are you running?  -2

    if c1.input == "-2"

    import, igs, "c:\models\ 123-2.igs"

    end_if

    something to that effect, for when there are a family of parts with minor changes in the part and you want to write a single program to run all parts in the family, but want the correct CAD file to show, as to not confuse the operator when the incorrect part is showing on the screen.

    Allow to default feature colors within "Edit Feature Appearance".

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

    Having the ability to have custom colors default for feature colors makes changing the background color cater the color choices. Creating multiple features then having to back track and open the "Edit Feature Appearance" to change the color is not ideal.

    Sort probe order based on B angle for faster calibration

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

    Have the ability to sort all angles by angle A or B. A is currently the only way. If sorting by B, the Calibration routine will be much shorter.

    Custom Excel Reports

    Kmurad 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 7 1 duplicate

    Give PC-DMIS the ability to store measurement results that can be exported to a custom Excel template. I currently use InspectionXpert software for ballooning drawings and that software allows you to create a custom Excel template by choosing the information that you export in a secondary function of the software.

    Pallet Run with Inspect

    F. Ziegler 6 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by neil kay 5 years ago 5

    It would be great, if we have the possibility to do the “pallet Run” with Inspect – like Operator Interface. 

    Just enter the number of the parts and their offset and let’s go.

    If a part does not exist, just uncheck it.
