Profile per unit Area

Sara K 1 year ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Wesley 1 year ago 1

Include a modifier in Geometric tolerancing to dimension a surface profile per unit area.
I am seeing this more and more on customer parts and would like to have this functionality added to avoid long and complex coding.

Remaining Points to go in execution

Andy 1 year ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

It would be nice if there was a points remaining and/or next feature while DCC is executing.

Add a native way to constract a contact circle from 2 different scans

PC-DMIS allows to construct a contact circle from 1 scan (it's called minimum scan in the circle dialog).

The problem is it works only with one input feature.

PC-DMIS should get the ability to also calculate contact circles from multiple scans and also from constructed filtered features (so the contact circle is more repeatable).

See the following links to the User Forum:

Combined GD&T callouts

Ben Powell 1 year ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Add the option to combine different GD&T into one callout, which would match the drawing. E.g. Size/Circularity/Perpendicularity in one callout.

extract point from edge point

SiSkebab 1 year ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Ale 1 year ago 3

When I create an edge point, there should be an option so I can extract the points with the appropriate move

Add math selector of tolerance zone for profile with datum

Aaron Baldauf 1 year ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil Challinor 1 year ago 1

Add a math selector of the tolerance zone when evaluating a profile with a datum (line or surface)

At the moment it automatically uses the "Default" math. It should be possible to use the "LSQ" math.

When evaluating a profile without datum this is already possible.

Reasons:

  • Default math will still be available (to evaluate according to the standard)
  • With "LSQ" math, one can better see the general form of the part, outliers are clearly identified
  • "LSQ" math gives more repeatable results (better for MSA)

I understand that the "Default" math is the one we should use to measure according to the standard

but it can be difficult to understand the result it delivers. "LSQ" math gives easier to understand results witch is crucial to adjust the machine.

See this example:

Make Prehit and Retract together as one adjustable setting.

Dylan 1 year ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by AKASH 10 months ago 1

Make Prehit and Retract together as one adjustable setting. Why do we need to have 2 separate settings?

Scans and Cad model match problem

After we end up our offline programs. We saw that after re runing  on offline scans turns in to the Master (they programmed at findnoms). And stays away from the cad model. Is there any way to stop this change?


Solutions:

If you operate the collision test it will relocate on cad model.

At measured programs scan results could not match the cad model. Because of that we can not analyse our part results.  Is there any solution for that too?  Capture.PNG

Auto Dimension Button

Chris Bittle 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like to have a button to turn on or off the Auto Dimension feature.  The current method is not an ideal workflow.  It is either always on or always off.  If I could turn it off/on from an icon or from the MSE, then that would be extraordinary.

Improve renaming of Datums

Aaron Baldauf 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 1 year ago 2

When an existing Datum gets renamed the GD&T commands don't get updated and still display the old letter.

This should get fixed and handled like the renaming of other features (like circles).
