Add: Insert link (web)

Mitja Smrekar 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like to add a clickable link to the start of our program which will open the browser and navigate to the intranet address where the model and drawing are. We will have a quick access to the latest model and drawing without going through a couple of folders...

Create or Edit Report and Label Templates from Home Screen

S. Ordelmans 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Dear PC-DMIS,

I would like to be able to open Report or Label templates directly from the Home Screen.

Now i have to open a measurement program and only then am I able to create or edit a Report or Label template.

It would be easier and faster if I could open such a template directly from the Home Screen.

Smart Measurement Strategy Editor

Kingsld1 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

Improve the MSE by letting the strategy vary based on nominal Cad conditions.  For example, when a cad inside circle diameter matches the minor diameter of a common thread, change the pitch in auto-circle to match that thread.   Probably would be best to make this generic rather than hard coded and being able to test multiple conditions would be very nice.

Adding a block tolerance widget and display precision to the dimension block

Jayson Woodard 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

When trying to dimension features I would like to have a radio button in the box to keep from typing displayprecision when matching a print.  Also adding a block tolerance widget so when you click the radio button the tolerance automatically adjust to the block tolerance.  This would keep you from typing the tolerances each time for non critical features which is about 90% of prints.

Construckt sphere in cone

benjamin leka 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

We measured an inner cone as an element and want to construct a ball with a fixed diameter of Ø19 in the cone (see picture). The goal is to determine the distance of 25.1( see Picture). Currently we construct a circle (Tangent) into two lines.

copy and paste with pattern that CAD would be pasted the same way as routines.

THAO HUYNH 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

once the routine is programed on original CAD, the copy and pasted procedure should include an option that "want to copy and paste CAD" the same way as routine so that CAD would be synced with routine. with this way, it would be easy to modify  or add feature based on current run. for now after running all parts with pattern (many parts on a fixture), if i go back to add one feature on CAD number3 for example (CAD number 1 is original) at location 4, coordination of new added feature would not be correct anymore because CAD number 3 is not synced with the routine at that location, location 4.  at location 1, CAD would be synced with routine but not other locations. thus it would be a big improvement on "copy and paste" if CAD and routine can sync automatically any location.

Circle Line Intersection improvement

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

Introduce a toggle command that will:

Allow a circle to mathematically grow until an intersection occurs inside of the intersection command. 

Allow a threshold limit to be applied.


What this fixes/allows:

For example my circle is obviously tangent to a line.  The 3 points i utilized for my circle were erroneous and my circle calculated a few microns smaller than actual due to form error.  The circle is still obviously touching the line.   In this scenario I could allow a threshold of .05mm to control my form error - PcDmis calculates the size needed to intersect the line and TEMPORARILY applies that size in the intersection command.  Allowing me to reliably program certain edge cases with out a nuisance stop.

Somehow mark Significant Characteristics (SC's) (CC's) on a report.

Jayson Woodard 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0
I would like to somehow make all the Significant Charateristics  stand out of the report without moving them out of balloon order. For example.. F1, F2, F3(SC), F4, F6(CC)....

Default setting of the calculation type of the elements

Wolle 4 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Matt 4 years ago 6

Currently, an elemente open always with the setting of the last use. 

But since most of the time is the default setting ASME or ISO 1101, it would be an advantage if this be can adjusted in advance. 

I would suggest here to insert an pullup meneu in the menu „NEW“ where the default setting of the elements can be preset.

Vision Auto Features - Percentage based enhancement

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

Currently, when editing settings for vision auto features each segment is given it's own setting, clicking back and forth between options or un-segmenting and editing then re-segmenting is your only option.  It would be nice to check all features for editing or just certain features for editing.
