Intervention limit for selected nominal dimension comparisons

U W 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0
It is only possible to define one action limit (e.g. 80% or 90%), which is then effective for all characteristics in the measuring program.
Required: Define a separate action limit for each individual characteristic in the measuring program.
e.g: Characteristic 1 --> intervention limit 85%
Characteristic 2--> no intervention limit
Characteristic 3--> intervention limit 70%

Eingriffsgrenze für ausgewählte Nennmaßvergleiche
Es ist nur möglich eine Eingriffsgrenzen zu definieren (z.B. 80% oder 90%), die dann für alle Merkmale im Messprogramm wirksam ist.
Wunsch: Für jedes einzelne Merkmal im Messprogramm eine seperate Eingriffsgrenze definieren.
z.B.: Merkmal 1 --> Eingriffsgrenze 85%
Merkmal 2--> keine Eingriffsgrenze
Merkmal 3--> Eingriffsgrenze 70%

Single click Auto circle by using star dia probe

srinivasan 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 4 years ago 5

In fixed probe head cmm if single click  we pick the auto circle by using star dia probe it would be very easy to measure the circle, the same option available in quindos software .please try to implement the same in PCDMIS.

"Right click delete" to remove an unwanted Windows Layout icon

Trevor McLaughlin 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

Deleting an unwanted Windows Layout icon should be more intuitive.


A user should be able to simply right click and choose "delete" in a context menu to remove, not Shift-Left Mouse Click and drag away. I'd also like to be able to rearrange the order the icons appear in the toolbar.

Reference Dimensions - No Tolerance & Secondary Reporting Options

Kyle Brummans 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by AKASH 1 year ago 2

Two main attributes:

The ability to toggle tolerances off.  (Basic and Reference dimensions)  

The ability to have a second set of dimensional reporting options or several reporting profiles (Dimension Color Settings)

This helps with quality control.  Right now, we either 'open' tolerance or don't report.  There are instances where it is desirable to have values of basics and references with-out it hindering production mentality/reactions.  Often I also output XYZ coordinates for In-Car and zero tolerance them, as the T-value is what's important/desired.

Intersection points between curve and plane

Daniel Ströbel 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

At the moment when you construct an intersection point between plane and curve only the first intersection point (PNT1) will be construct. (see Picture 1)

Picture 1 


We are needed every intersection point between curve and plane (PNT2 and PNT3). (see Picture 2)

Collision Detection Speed Slide Adjustment Bar During Simulation

Jurgis Rudkus 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil Ryan 1 year ago 4
Instead of having to go into a menu and change the similation speed, it would be nice for there to be a slide bar that you can adjust during simlation. That way you can speed up in areas that you know are clear, and slow down in super tight areas. I know that if it clears once, it will clear a thousand times, but some machines act a bit different.

Apply new default settings to existing projects

Nicolas Pétré 6 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by anthony vianna 4 years ago 2

When a user changes his default report Template (ex: change the Logo), those new settings will be applied only on new projects.

If he has 1000 existing projects, there is no way to retro apply the new settings on the old project but changing one by one.

Default feature color

V Maglov 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

I'd like to suggest a feature - to add an option to set the default colors for different types of features - i.e. by default every time i create a constructed feature its color on the cad model to be yellow and every time i create an auto feature its color to be red etc.
I am asking for this feature because atm whenever i start a new program or open an existing one by default all features are black and even if i set it manually the way i want it every feature i add to the program after i have set my colors is shown in black no matter where in the program i add the feature.
Also id like to suggest a global option for adjusting the features' colors for all programs because i would really like to avoid setting the colors for 1300+ programs manually one by one.
IMPO this would be extremely convenient if such an option is added to PC DMIS.

Jog Box

CMMs need the option to have wireless jog boxes. I trip over the cord all the time and wheel over it with my chair.

Warning message reminder to save Program

davehocum 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

Add a setting in the Setup Options for a save reminder. If a program is opened for a while, you will receive an warning message reminding you to save.
