Estimate Execute Time from Offline

AbdullahATA 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Selahattin Akkaya 11 months ago 8

As a CMM programmer, I would like to know how long real measurement will last from offline programme. Part program already includes move speed, touch speed, etc all kind of info. So it should also give an estimated time before real execute.

Graphic visualization of angle and distance definition

Vaclav Tichacek 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Jörgen Andersson (vpt se) 2 years ago 8

Hello,

as a programmer I would like to graphically visualize the angle or distance that will be evaluated

as it works in other software, such as Polyworks, Quartis etc.


See attached video.

A function / icon inside PC-Dmis to change from online / offline.

3D in reporting

Zeljko 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated 4 years ago 36 3 duplicates

Option to make 3d PDF report, based on point-cloud measurements. Same as on image, but in PDF, or something else readable by users who don't have pcdmis.. Maybe export as step model with this measured values. It's much productive to look at measurements by engineers, and it's easier to create report (for complex models) instead of cad only option.

2020 R2+ Datum Shift reporting

Jacob Cheverie 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by James Schilling 2 months ago 15

2020 R2 no longer shows any information on the report regarding datum shift. I find these values to be very helpful at times when diagnosing issues with our parts.

Icon Color Option

davehocum 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Kingsld1 3 years ago 23 5 duplicates

SoildWorks added a Icon color option. The option is to be able to change the Icons color from Default to Classic. Maybe they could do this with PC-DMIS to have a Icon color option.

Have the ability to change the program from English to Metric, not just the reporting

bman 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Julian Cawthon 10 months ago 22 1 duplicate

A button that would convert the programming code from English to Metric or vice versa. If it can be done in the reporting, why can't it be done for the program itself?

Avoidance moves - using both before & after for the same feature

Richard 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Matt 2 years ago 18

 it would be a good idea to be able to adjust BOTH 'before' & 'after' when using avoidance moves on the same feature.for example, you might want a before distance of 40 but an after of 80.
