looking perpendicular at the solid model

Selahattin Akkaya 2 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Hi guys,

There should be a button in Graphic View to be able to look at the part on angled surfaces perpendicular to their surfaces.

It's like the Normal View button on Catia.

See below picture..

Ability to queue parts to run

zachr 2 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / Inspect bijgewerkt 2 jaar geleden 4
It would be nice to have the ability to queue a part to run after the current part is done running. We have quite a few production run parts that machinists run on the CMM but they do not want to wait until the current part is finished before they can set theirs up. It would be nice for them to be able to queue their part, enter in all applicable trace-field information, and walk away, knowing that the part will run when the current part(s) are done.

Password lock for individual routines

Prasanna Vemanna 2 jaar geleden in Metrology Software 0

Use case: Looking for password protection for individual routines, We have the same version of pc-dmis just 1 online version used by 2 or 3 different users for creating and executing programs. User A wants to lock the program for editing. But any user should be in a position to execute that particular program without having to edit. if editing is required, it should be done by User A or one with a known password. Same for User B, C, etc., In this way user A keeps modifying his own written programs without allowing access to other users.  Somewhat similar I know is supported by Protect of PC-DMIS, but the workflow I look for is simple and easy, protect is a much mixed and complicated workflow.  just have an option to lock it whenever required without having to install add-ons. etc.,

Allow R (Radius) or Ø for features in FCF

Allow R (Radius) or Ø for features in FCF 


Currently PC DMIS Software only allows Ø callout in FCF except in the Legacy FCF. I have drawing callouts where a Radius is used [ SEE ATTACHED PNG] This causes MMC to be incorrectly reported. Even the legacy does not allow Both R and Ø callouts to be reported differently in a single True Position FCF. You must choose one or the other and Primary Feature and Datum features will be reported as all R or all Ø. I would like to be able to report both R and Ø as needed in any True Position FCF.

Shape options for clearance

Eric Tingle 2 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt door TMO 1 week geleden 1

Clearance cube works well for square/rectangle parts but not ideal for cylindrical shaped parts. A clearance cylinder would work well for round parts that have features i.e. circles etc... on the outer perimeter of the cylinder.

Auto Edge Line and Circle

Kingsld1 2 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Expand Auto Features  to include Auto Edge Line and Auto Edge Circle.  I often used Edge points in the construction of lines and circles.  Screen gets crowded with points that have to be hidden to see other features.   It's an unneeded complication

Excel Form Report, Set Custom Order

When using "Set Custom Order" in Excel Form Reports, Allow to high-light fields and drag the whole group into the desired position.

Automatic Alignment to defined datums

Lee Miller 2 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Adding an option to build an alignment from datum features that have been measured and defined. This would allow for quick manual GD&T compliant alignments in the same manner GeoTol already does.

PCDmis always uses circular moves on spheres

Smasherofprobes 2 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS bijgewerkt 2 jaar geleden 2

Constantly having to check the box for "Circular moves" when picking up Tooling Spheres in DCC. It should default to circular moves when measuring spheres! I understand there is an option in F5 to "Use circular moves on round features", but I only want to apply this to spheres.

Choose dimension color in edit window when elements aren't executed

mihael rakic 2 jaar geleden in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

When a feature isn't executed, because of a partial execution, then the related dimension will turn red. This is confusing for the user, because you'll think the dimension has a out of tolerance. 

Suggestion: Give another color than red for elements which are skipped.
