Need to retain the actual data points on every measurement piece, after finishing the CNC run. This actual point data per piece will be useful for re-evaluate the dimension without actual part needed.

Some programs may have support files like pcdmis forms, basic scripts, bitmaps, external commands, etc.  Very often, the best way to manage a program is to create a folder for it and then allow the program to reside within that folder with all its supporting files in same location.

This is because it is often impractical to have many programs in folders with all their support files intermix.

It would be nice to be able to specify whether to treat a folder as a program container that can be selected for execution.  (On main Measurement routine screen).  Bitmap association to it.

The rule would have to be that a folder name must be identical to the program name.

I know this is a complicated request.  This is how one of our customers that has 50+ CMMs has his custom interface (developed by us Hexagon) configured.

Location of programs is remote (network).

Executing measurement routine is actually a local copy of the folder and its contents.

Hey everyone,

I didn't find anything listed about this so I figured I would put it up. I use 2-3 monitors at a time when using PC-DMIS. I would like the ability to be able to place different parts of PC-DMIS on different monitors when programming and working.

Examples would be:

-Live view on separate monitor

-Report Window on separate monitor

-Edit Window on separate monitor

-CAD View on separate monitor

-Measurement tools in your own locations

-The ability to have that layout,  the size and locations of windows saved for when PC-DMIS is opened next.

Essentially a user could make their PC-DMIS interface setup how they want it when using it whether they use 1,2 or 3 monitors, they could utilize all of them if given the chance.

This sounds like it would be a hard task to change this, but I know it would make a lot of users happy. I think it would be an opportunity to keep some things loaded separately though when loading PC-DMIS and fix certain crashes when too many things are open that are not in use. This would allow users to have only the tools needed for their job open while efficiently switching from task to task and checking their work at the same time without having to find an open window somewhere while utilizing more desktop space for users who like to see more at once.

It would be nice to have PC-DMIS QDAS converter integrated inside PC DMIS, with intuitive K-Fields set-up menu and possibility to export all PC DMIS Dimension functionalities to .DFQ files

If i have to measure 10 same parts, it will be great if there is ability to edit reports from 1 to 10, even if i executed program for each. For now, it's only "View last execute report mode"

You can confirm most pop-ups with the controller, except for the Tracefield window. It's a small quality of life thing.

Currently, PCDMIS measures by "rows" following along the diameter before moving up or down the height of the cylinder once it has completed the circle at that height.

It would save a lot of time if we could toggle to measure by “columns” first, measuring up or down the length of the cylinder first before moving radially to the next part of the cylinder.

Adaptive Cylinder Line Scans measures with a very similar path on a scanning CMM.

This could drastically speed up measurement time on parts with large diameters but shallow lengths.

CMM Manager has a feature like this, and it cut 30 seconds off of the runtime of one part.

Hi Could a traffic light system be implemented to see what level a program is at. currently I would just do this through naming convention of the program but this could end up me having multiple programs that aren't necessary.

Green - Proven, Up-to current revision

Amber - Un-Proven / Revision Change needed

Red - Unproven Program / Quarantined

Add an option to toggle off the "smart calculation" for ending offsets of Cylinders and other auto features.
