Xact Measure Report

jodische 6 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Rob Jensen 4 years ago 4

Make Xact measure report easy to re-arrange so it looks like the Legacy Report.  You can shutoff and turn on whatever you want to go to the printer or stats (in whatever order you want) .  In machining all the machinist cares about is which way they need to move the machine.  All they want to see for Position for example is X, Y, Diameter Size and Position.  They do not want to see datum shift, the position of the datum's you used, the size of the datum used.  The Report is to long and confusing and out of order.

Warning on what options are available with different version of Pcdmis

davehocum 6 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by neil kay 4 years ago 5

Just finish testing Inspect 3.2. Back saved a 2018 R1 routine to 2017 R1. Closed Pcdmis and open Inspect 3.2. Installed the 2017 R1 add-on. Open the routine using Inspect 3.2 and executed the routine. First warning that the saved default Report template Text and Cad.rpt serialization error. Report template from later version. Nice, then I selected OK and waited for the Pcdmis startup and wait and wait. Finally execution is at 6% then a pause. Forms will not show and there is no CAD window selection either. Let's try 2017 R2. Same issue. Let's try this using 2018 R1 and the forms work as expected. The CAD selection is available now. There should be a warning on what options are available with different version of Pcdmis.

Xact Measure GD&T axis

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

Make possible to set which axis will be displayed in report by default. At this time when I use Xact Measure GD&T almost all axis are selected but I dont want them in report so I need to unselect them all except for those which must be displayed. I need to do that at every single GD&T result but when you change just one alignment all axis will select again and I need to do all the work again and again. It is really annoying.

it seems that many CMM software supporting 5 AXIS CMM HEAD for example PH20 from Renishaw. it would be nice that PH20 can run on PC-DMIS.

Add move/clearcube (Even within auto features and scans.)

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

In the older versions of PC-DMIS; prior to clearance cube, when using clearance plane you could simply type "move/clearplane" within a non auto feature and if would clear the plane and stay there until it was time to take the next hit. Clearance cube is a superior tool in most regards but I have to add move/points when ever I want to deviate from the path. I would like to have the same kind of thing with the cube; It would be very helpful to have the ability to clear the cube when ever I see fit. Even within auto features and scans. Please ask if you would like me to better clarify.

CALRA

Alexander Schneeberger 6 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

Switching from LRA- to ALRA-values is possible just by one click. Not for the corrected values. For those of us who work with ALRA-values, this would be crucial to use the full  functionality of TubeShaper. thanks

Make a way where you can rename the project easily. i.e right click then rename project.

mthomas 6 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by anthony vianna 3 years ago 2

The only way to rename the file is to save as then delete the old one. There should be a way to right click then rename the project like you can do with normal files in Windows Explorer.

Generic feature “link”check box

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

Would be great to have to option to have a check box that if checked whatever settings you type in under the actual’s tab would also populate the data fields in the nominal s tab. Also to go a step further if the programmer had the ability to click “select” an already created featurs that the generic feature utility would be able to recognize and extract X,Y,Z, and I,J,K’s dia ect… and or drop down list of previously created features.
