Color code for tolerances

ATT-Danilo 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS • updated by Neil Ryan 1 week ago • 4

I suggest the software recognizes the color of the surfaces the points are applied to.

When we create dimentions, instead of adding the tollerance for each point (or group of points), we select a color code (that has been sorted out by our engenieering department) and the tolerances are applied considering the CAD surface color and which tolerance that color represents on my color code.

Good idea!
We also work with color tables for tolerances. 
A link between the RGB-code of the CAD-model and the tolerance input in PC-DMIS would therefore make work much easier and perhaps even enable automation with the measuring strategy.

Our engineering uses the VDWF standard; this is an international standard.
