The option to extract point data from auto features.

Dave Drew 10 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Kyle Brummans 6 years ago 15

The option to extract individual point data from auto features, so that I can report xyz values for a single point.

Additional information in the results file

frank herr 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil Ryan 2 years ago 5

As a user of PC-DMIS, I like to see the used qualification parameters (Prehit, Retract, TouchSpeed, MoveSpeed and NumberOfHits) in the results file. This will help to analyze if a setting was not aligned with the used parameters in a measurement routine which can cause significant deviations in the measurement results.

Eliminate Line Length Error

DAN_M_413 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by FH840809 5 years ago 3

While hardcoding things in PC DMIS, we often run into "line length error" issues and have to break things up into multiple-multiple-multiple feature-sets. Can you please consider eliminating the line error issue if at all possible..or..giving us a lot more room for lines? 

If I can CONSTRUCT a plane with 5000points and see all of them listed in my edit window why can't we do the same with featuresets/while hardcoding? 

Thanks for your time.

As user of PC-DMIS 4 Axis Scanning I want to use Auto Circle / Cylinder / Cone and RT to take hits

The Idea is to program an Auto Circle and RT is used to position the RT and take the hit on a circle,move RT take next hit, move RT tae next hit. This is a request of MTU.

it should be possible to construct a circle from highest point of a blade in blisks in radius direction of the blisk. This is need to get the outer diameter and calculate the form error

daniel schroepfer 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Neil Ryan 2 years ago 4

This is an important function and will help all blisk manufactors which use PC-DMIS Scanning with and without rotary table. Then it is possible to calculate the biggest Diameter on a blisk.

Offline programming automatic save & automatic save when software crashes

Milton Cortez 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by davehocum 5 years ago 2

Too many times has PC-DMIS crashed while creating an offline program, I have worked with multiple other CMM software's where they provide many options for keeping what you have worked on and not loose a days work.

if PC-DMIS could enter a setting to auto save at different intervals like 5, 10 or 30 minutes would help a programmer from loosing much work, trying to remember to save it is not always achievable.
