Hexagon Measurement SystemsNo matter what Hexagon measurement equipment or software you use, we want to hear your ideas and suggestions on how we can improve.
Thanks for your assistance in helping us shape the future. |

See CAD model inside Inspect Interface.
Would like to be able to view the CAD model within the Inspect user interface while the program is executing. Similar to the current Operator mode functionality.
Remembering past measurements
Now PC-DMIS remembers only measurements made on the last part. A lot of time I need a complete data of part that was measured in past. It could be set to remember last xx measured parts. I know that Calypso has this feature.
DRF feature construction option(s) - relative to other features/datums
Add options to construct Datum features in such a way that they reflect the standard.
Example - Datum A is a Plane, and Datum B is a cylinder bore nominally perpendicular to the plane.
As per both ISO and ASME standards, Datum B would be a Max Insc Cylinder Perpendicular to Dat A.
It's easy enough to construct a Max Insc cylinder, but this wouldn't be forced perpendicular to the plane, currently you'd have to measure it as a series of circles, then construct a Max Insc Circle in the correct workplane after levelling to Dat A.
See bottom image for example (image shows shaft not bore but principle is the same).

Like wise construct a datum plane from a measured plane relative to another feature (Top image)
Make it possible to re-enumerate feature numbers after program is written/edited.
Your program is finished but some points or features were added and their out of numerical order.
A Re-number feature would put them all in ascending order.
Save the PC-DMIS version/SP/Schema so that we can identify what version of PC-DMIS is needed to open this file.
Can we get some way to record what version/schema of PC-DMIS is required to open a particular PC-DMIS file? With the rolling cutoff and some users having a mix of schema for their routines, I fear difficulties with using the migration utilities in the future.
Have the clearance cube wrap around the form of the part instead of a cube that has deadspace in it
This would save lots of time for some parts. Think of it like the shield from the Dune movies. The clearcube should form around the part
Show constrained degrees of freedom in the geometric tolerance dialog window
It would be helpful to see the actively constrained degrees of freedom as the feature control frame is being built in the geometric tolerance dialog window. As an example, assume I have a primary datum plane (normal Z+), a secondary datum cylinder (axis along Z), and a tertiary datum cylinder (axis along Z). Then, as I build my feature control frame, the geometric tolerance dialog window shows me which degrees of freedom become constrained as the images below show:




Compare PC-DMIS programs side by side
Ability to have two PC-DMIS programs open side by side/one on each monitor to compare and copy and paste between them.
Alternatively, a PC-DMIS clipboard you can use to copy and paste code to and from.
Ability to Assign a Dimension as Attribute
I would like the ability to create an attribute dimension, similar to a "Keyed In" dimension that has a non-numerical value of either "PASS" OR "FAIL" and the ability to pass that result to reports or Excel exports. Currently, all defined dimensions are numerical.
Complete autocalibration routine
Autocalibration Currently does not remeasure failed tips. My suggestion is to implement a feature within the Autocalibration routine that allows it to remeasure the tips that failed the standard deviation. As well as adding a feature within the autocalibration code that allows you to select the calibration sphere when the qualtool has been moved only. This would be used for all autocalibration within that code as well but only selected at the beginning of the program to ensure correct vector and size are used. My expectation if this gets implemented is when i leave on Friday, i can start the autocalibration routine and come back on Monday with no tips that have been outside of the standard deviations.
