Use constructed features in the graphics window (like CAD) to pick auto features.

6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS • updated by 4 years ago • 0

I often program complex 3 axis parts offline with only a drawing. I have to usually "sketch" the part using constructed features, to give me the geometry to find intersects / tangents etc. I would like to have a mode similar to curve mode, that allows you to pick the feature lines in the graphics window, similar to picking CAD, to create auto features.

Multiple Pattern Names

6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS • updated by 4 years ago • 4

When programming multiple features in order like:

CBORE_1

CBORE_DEPTH_1

HOLE_1

It would be nice if you could copy/paste with pattern this entire pattern and save the names of all not just have everything come up as HOLE_1, HOLE_2, HOLE_3...

Time consuming to rename all of the counter bores and depths.

Windows Tags and Coments

It would be nice if you could tag programs in Windows explorer and be able to add comments about the program without having to open the program and view it. This would be display in windows explorer under the details section.

Automatic sensor in probe changer

Have a proximity switch or LVDT in the probe changer to automatically tell PC DMIS which docking ports that have probe assignments are empty.

Have the option of making programs "Invisible" from Inspect Desktop.

6 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect • updated by 4 years ago • 3

If there is a large number of programs to load within a Directory, Inspect slows down significantly and sometimes crashes. If the only program to show was, searched for, program. This should prevent the system from slowing down.

If you have a "Run another Part" selection within a Program, the total measurement cycle ring does not reset back to 0%, it remains at 100%.

Mesh

6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS • updated by 4 years ago • 3

It would be nice if we can handle STL by surface mesh. Pointcloud is not usable...

Some youtube demo about pointcloud operation is also much better to help to our work.

Practical trick and tip etc...

Quick Fixture

6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS • updated by 4 years ago • 0

Improve quick fixture interface to where it is more like the translate mode, 2d rotate mode, 3d rotate mode in the graphics modes toolbar. Current interface is quirky at best to downright difficult.

I would envision going into quick fixture mode, click on a component, clicking on translate to move a component such as a tension clamp, then switching to 2d rotate to turn the clamp on to the cad model.
