Inspect Pallet Playlist add multiple pallets with spacing controls

DSH 5 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / Inspect 0

Many customers have large enough machines and smaller parts facilitating the ability to load multiple fixtures on the machine.  It would be helpful to have the ability to specify spacing between fixtures to execute sequentially.

This could possibly be done with fixture alignments rather than spacing for provision where the spacing may not be uniform.

Vectors of deviation in CAD protocol

Dominik Braun 5 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Hello,

we need to have the option to show the vectors of the deviation in our protocol.

It is possible in the graphical window in PC-DMIS, so why isnt it possible in the "CADONLY" protocol e.g.?

Here is a screenshot what I mean:

Thanks in advance

2021.1__Add unequal tolerance zones for analysis view command

DAN_M_413 5 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door Aaron Baldauf 5 jaar geleden 1

Using 2021.1, an "analysisview" command of a feature control frame that uses the "U Modifier" will ONLY allow us to put on the inspection report an "analysisview" of a BILATERAL tolerance band. 


Please add the capability for us to show the tolerance band as UNEQUAL.

Datum feature in edit feature window

Garrett W 5 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door Trevor McLaughlin 5 jaar geleden 1

Add a feature in the screen for editing a feature (plane, cylinder, etc) to assign it as a datum instead of going through dimension datum screen and/or gd&t dimension.

Enable "To Points" toggle in all auto-features

DAN_M_413 5 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Regarding the "To Points" toggle in the auto-feature dialogue box..


Would it be possible to make this toggle work for every type of auto-feature?

Right now, you can only use "To Points" on autocircle, autoplane, and autocylinder. The toggle is "grayed out" for lines, cones, spheres, etc. Adding this functionality would be a good enhancement IMO. 

Thanks for your time,

Move probe to center of calibration sphere before next rotation

Big John 5 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

In the calibration cycle, the possibility that the probe moves to the center of the calibration sphere before the next rotation move. This is useful if using a small CMM. It saves room and the eliminates the chance of a collision with the CMM support legs.

Scale behavior with 4k resolution on monitors should be reworked

Thilo Graf 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt 4 jaar geleden 2

We have new workstations with 4k monitors but the behavior of PCDMIS was disappointing while switching to the desired resolution with suitable scaling for our monitors.

We are using PCDMIS 2019 R2, with NVIDIA Quadro P4000

Here some screenshots for demonstration

Current Windows settings with 1920x1080 / 100%.

So it looks now with loss of edge sharpness, which has particularly bad effects on the graphics window.

This is our solution at the moment, but the screen is slightly blurry.
We had imagined differently, especially working with CAD models.

If we set the better resolution and the appropriate scaling for our monitors, it looks like this:

Now switch to 

Image 390

now it looks so after PCDMIS restart on the same monitor

Image 395

Image 398

Font and icons seems to be ok but the report window is not really usable without up scaling.

With up scaled settings e.g. 200% in the report window it looks not really nice, moreover the labels inside status

window are not scalable. You need a magnifying glass for this. ;-)


Please fix this behavior. Thanks

I would like to calculate the area focus and the area of scans

Hans Brunner GmbH 6 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door neil kay 6 jaar geleden 2

We have irregular contours (turtle, Easter eggs, seahorses) and need the area and their from closed scans.

Our competitors are already working with this for a long time.
