Add formulas to all Text boxes (with Assignments)

JVP 10 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 2

Make X/Y/Z/I/J/K/Dia/etc have the ability to accept and recognize formulas (and variables/Assignments). After entering the formula it should stay active/visible for easy editing in the future.

Change the generic feature creation to include a drop down selection of previously measured features

banjopkr61 10 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 6 years ago 0

Change the generic feature creation to include a drop down selection of previously measured features such that you could select PLN1.TX - Cir2.TY - Line3.TZ and PLN1.X - CIR2.Y - Line3.Z to populate the new generic feature as you create it.

Error messages should begin with a distinct identifying alpha-numeric code to provide a simpler means of referencing them. Otherwise, some errors messages have similar text and can be confused.

I would like to see the Live Image view so I can use INSPECT on a vision machine, and use the view to do the manual alignment features

neil kay 10 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated 6 years ago 7

At the moment, INSPECT is not very useful for Vision machines, as without seeing the camera view, then the manual alignment features are impossible to position.

Thread Pitch Selection

J Rys 4 days ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Guillermo 4 days ago 1

It would be helpful to add a dropdown menu for thread pitch selection instead of requiring users to manually type in the pitch for each thread. The dropdown could include common inch and metric thread sizes, along with an option for LH threads, allowing users to quickly select the correct pitch from a list.  This would save time and make the thread creation process more consistent and user-friendly

Vision - I would like a switch to save ALL images captured by the camera during a program run

natanderson 3 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

In PCDMIS-Vision I would like a switch on/off setting to generate all images captured by the camera during a program run including the display of the measured points. This raw vision data would be extremely useful for root cause analysis.

It would be similar to the existing Diagnostics tool but available in run mode and not requiring to be turned on for each feature. Vision images tell the story of the measurement and are invaluable for troubleshooting and to support cross-sites communication.

Separate PCDMIS installation and license requirement. This is not suitable for enterprise roll-out. License details could be a requirement at runtime.

Mike Donnan 3 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Current installation mechanism requires local login to PC.

This is time consuming and prevents parallel deployment.

Silent installation is documented... but still requires license and local login ?

A possibility to Add "Tolerances" to colors (RGB) like in Hexagon VISI or maybe in a simpler way

Ruben 5 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 1 week ago 2

We work more and more with colors and PMI`s to reduce drawings to a minimum.

At the moment we are at the point, that we can handle RGB colors in our CAD, in the CAM and in the Viewer.

But in our quality department is it not possbile to work with colors in a fast way, because PC-DMIS shows only RGB codes of the Surfaces (Information Surface)


We would wish a to have a possibility to see a tolerance for every RGB color like in Hexagon VISI.

In our business field all companys work already with the similar color code. (Meusburger, VISI, Hasco, VDWF, ....)


Than you don`t need so much time to add PMI`s, because the colors are so much faster and you understand in few seconds the parts and what you have to measure.


Example how you can at the moment see the color in PC-DMIS, but no Tolerance:

This is how you can see it in Hexagon Visi:

Select funktion

dan brokstad 7 months ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Hi
In recent years, there have been more and more customers manufacturing plates for hydrogen fuel cells or heat exchanger with have many small CAD surfaces (thousands of surfaces). If you want to mark a certain area, you need to zoom in and mark from different angles to cover everything. This takes an enormous amount of time!!!

So I would like to have more options when selecting CAD surfaces. Like, select all, select all in my selection (through/not through/visible only and so on.
