As a TubeShaper user, when I import a CAD model that contains assembled tubes with or without brackets (IGES/STEP), I want to be able to select wich one has to be extracted and afterwards measured/reported.

It will be nice to have a Preview window of the CAD model and select which one has to be extracted, and also to select which straight, of the selected tube, has to be considered my 1st one.

Regards,

Liviu

Looking for a way to populate results in specific custom order in Excell based first article travelers.

Crazy as it sounds, but we do have straight tubes that we measure too, some with flanges or fittings at the ends.  I know that there is the toolbox to measure a straight, but it is limited to just a straight.  Would like to be able to create and inspect a straight tube with or without flange profiles and check for the deviations.

UK customer has requested a way in Inspect to specify a % of tolerance, and if dimensions are within tolerance, but above the % of tolerance, they would be marked in yellow on the dimension summary screen at the end of execution.

We need more Variables ind the Header of the Protokoll.

The Customers need to insert.

1. Customer

2. Part

3. Controller

4. Tube Material

5. Bender

6. Comments

7. ...etc.

Would like to be able to view the CAD model within the Inspect user interface while the program is executing. Similar to the current Operator mode functionality.

Now PC-DMIS remembers only measurements made on the last part. A lot of time I need a complete data of part that was measured in past. It could be set to remember last xx measured parts. I know that Calypso has this feature.

Add options to construct Datum features in such a way that they reflect the standard.

Example - Datum A is a Plane, and Datum B is a cylinder bore nominally perpendicular to the plane.

As per both ISO and ASME standards, Datum B would be a Max Insc Cylinder Perpendicular to Dat A.

It's easy enough to construct a Max Insc cylinder, but this wouldn't be forced perpendicular to the plane, currently you'd have to measure it as a series of circles, then construct a Max Insc Circle in the correct workplane after levelling to Dat A.

See bottom image for example (image shows shaft not bore but principle is the same).

Like wise construct a datum plane from a measured plane relative to another feature (Top image)

Your program is finished but some points or features were added and their out of numerical order.

A Re-number feature would put them all in ascending order.

This would save lots of time for some parts. Think of it like the shield from the Dune movies. The clearcube should form around the part
