PC-DMIS in one language, the report in another

Jörgen Andersson (vpt se) 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

I am running PC-DMIS with swedish language setting and thus, the report is also in swedish. However, it would be optimal if I could change the report template language to english - just for the report as we have customers all around the world.


In order to that today, I'd have to either run PC-DMIS in english (all the time) or change language, start PC-DMIS, open my program and print the report.


Would it be possible to add the possibility for the report templates to use a different language (other resources from the .dll's) template only for printing?

Add bent tube to straight tube capabilities

Joe 7 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 5 years ago 2

I measure a lot of bent tubes with copes (fish mouth cuts) on the ends of the tubes.  Would like to have the capability in TubeShaper to take  a measured bent tube (with measured cylinders on each end) and convert it to a straight state with the measured end cylinders in the correct orientation.  Then the straight tube can be exported as a CAD model so it can be used in a tube laser machine.

Additional method for measuring long tubes (leap-frogging)

George Koskinas 8 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

Currently the only method available for measuring long tubes (leap-frogging) is the "Move Tube" where it is required to measure two straights. If all straights are just too big to allow for selection/measurement of any two, this obviously won't work. Perhaps we can add an additional method, similar to that of G-Tube, where we add a displacement T-square, perpendicular to any straight.

New point construction method: "high point"

dave amstutz (djams) 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil Ryan 12 months ago 2

Finding the "high point" of a feature or scan is a very common measurement task.


In pc-dmis, this is a complex task, that requires an understanding of array indexing, and significant manual entry into a generic feature. It is prone to error, is very time consuming, and for users never exposed to a programming language it's a complete non-starter.


A simple, interface-based point construction method could be added to address these issues. The new method should be based on the DMIS method "CONST/EXTREM". It is very complete, and since pc-dmis imports DMIS code - it only makes sense to have a 1 to1 mapping of the DMIS definition.
