SlideShow template creation - Allow for further customization of label (dimension controls)

Guillermo 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / Inspect bijgewerkt door KAY Neil 3 jaar geleden 5

SlideShow allows the user to grab any dimension from PCDMIS routine and annotate the slide with that element as a label control.  However, it does not offer or allow for enough customization like PCDMIS STI+ did.

For example, say a dimension location that has XYD is selected.  the control should allow user to only add D, or Y and D, etc.  Instead of all dimensions.  The label should allow us to specify applying color (Green, Yellow, Red) to percent of tolerance for any dimension.  This could be via a background color for the label.


Suggestion for leader lines.  Line color, End type Arrow or dot, relative to two features checkbox.  If the dimension label is for a distance or an angle for example, leader line (relative to two features) could be made to point to two areas on screen.


Example screen capture of two Location dimension attached.  It would be nice if user would see list at left showing available report axes and select the ones to show and use for label.  When evaluating Green,Yellow, Red, only that dimension axes would be evaluated.

User parameters

Bayaz 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 0

A user parameter window that the programmer can set a value and a keystroke for commonly used functions.  

for example,  if you are programming a part with holes of varying depths you could set a letter with the parameter for the value desired.  So for the .250  you would just type "Q" in the depth area of the auto feature, "W" for .500, "E" for 1.000 and so on.  This function is a staple in modeling software.

Thickness of profiles

Bayaz 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 1

The ability to dimension the distance of irregular shaped grooves and contours when using scans.  For example, a rectangular O ring groove with scans on both surfaces. The ability to select two opposing scans and get the distance.

Fix for all the bugs in saving PDF and Excel files

Roel 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 1

After many calls and chats with Hexagon support, there is still no proper way of saving PDF and Excel files automatically (by checking the folder contents and increasing the index). PDFs prompt for save location now and then, excel files are often saved twice, sometimes with wrong index and sometimes half an hour after I ran the measurement routine the last time, suddenly 20 empty excel files are added to the folder. 

Instead of asking me to check or change things, why doesn't PC-DMIS come with a proper update to fix this. Apparently the way they coded this way of saving to PDF and Excel is not robust at all.

Graphic representation of boundary

Bill Kulpa 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 0

I'd like the ability to have the boundary type and direction in the scanning dialog box to be graphically represented in the graphics display window with the ability to turn it off and on with a click of the mouse (check button). Just a wireframe would be sufficient to clarify what's being used and it's direction.

print reporting

JOBrien 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 1

I have not been able to make my report look like my print.

I would like to see lines from the circle centers not the outer edges and  clean lines that define where the measures are coming from so I can give the measured data to my engineers and they can see where I am taking my measures from. The picture below show a simple example of how the prints I've seen are drawn. I can not replicate this view in my reporting causing me to have to remake a new report so everyone that looks at it can clearly understand the measured information.

Clip Plane Improvement

Kingsld1 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 5 jaar geleden 0

Have the ability to have multiple angles in clip planes.  


It's not uncommon for section views to not be a flat plane. Instead they have twists and turns in them.  It would be nice to be able to duplicate the section view on my print to my programming/ reporting view.


Maybe use features (including generic features) to set the spot where the section view turns?


Maybe some type of boolean operation to combine multiple clip planes in order to achieve this effect?

I'd like to be able to access the form editor as a stand alone application.

Mapped drives in win10

romeo matkovic 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door Gábor Tóth 5 jaar geleden 6

Dialog Save As or Open in win10 with 2018R1 doesn't work. PCDMIS doesn't see any network mapped drives or folder from Quick Access. Please fix that. because we cant work without that.
