Target Dimension Modifier (Support for Assignments).

Kyle Brummans 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

The ability to modify targets without effecting alignment changes. 

Currently if I mirror a program or change an alignment - my target formula does not change it's nominal value.  Therefore the CMM drives to the wrong place.  Sometimes by 1000's of mm.  Because this is not supported in this way our company frowns upon the use of assignments.

At PC-DMIS startup; Add a (MACHINE HOME) icon to menu screen.

Jim Hicks 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

The ability to home the machine at the start of a new work shift should be part of the standard menu features.  You should not have to completely shut the machine down to home out the machine.  No matter how up to date and  complex the new software packages become it is always a good practice to home the machine.

Remove "Measure All iter align features now?"

Charles Hilton 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

Probably one of the most obnoxious and useless prompts is the ""Measure All iter align features now?"" It comes up every time you modify a feature related to an iterative, plus one more for every other instance of an iterative alignment in your program. So hypothetically, if you have 3 iterative alignments in your program, and you modify a single point in one of them, you'll receive three prompts,


Not to mention, the prompt does come up inexplicably sometimes. So sometimes when you're hammering through the also obnoxious, barrage of prompts, you get when you change a feature like "Do you want to update measured values", "Do want to make this the default ID", "Update dependent commands", where you may swapping back and forth between selecting "Yes", "No", in rapid fire succession because you're trying to get work done, let's through a command in there that throws the machine into automatic motion regardless of where the probe head actually go inspect something on the other side of the part, smash into said part, and break a four or five grand probe. Splendid... just great...

Vision - Add Delayed Live view setting

Kyle Brummans 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 3

Additional view settings such as adding a delay to measured vision features. 

Ex.  I measure a feature, then for a x.xx seconds (whatever I choose) the live view pauses accordingly to show the measured hits.  An additional toggle of accepted and unaccepted hits would also be nice.

USING HELP

Mitja Smrekar 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 3

With version 2019 the help (F1) is accessible trough the browser. My experience is very bad. The search is slow, opening is slow too. I just can not use it, it is unusable!!! Make it fast and simple like it was before.

Vision Profile 'Arc' Multi Execute

Kyle Brummans 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 1

Currently, when executing profiles I've noticed it will sometimes take small segments of arcs, tiny segments, one at a time. 

It would enhance the run speed of my programs if it could execute all edges visible. 

(Side note: I've also noticed that the scan is much slower than competing products, customers have said things like "I thought It'd be faster" and my boss has even said "I remember XXX Brand being much faster, but maybe I'm wrong")
