KS HUAYU AluTech GmbH - Mr. Löwe

Mr. Löwe would like to have the possibility to search for dimension ID's in PDF's created from PC-DMIS Reporting. Currently he use the default.rtp in rtf format, so that he can search for Dimension ID's. That's important for him, because he has 200-300's of features ad can easly find them by the search function.

But he would prefer to use a report like textonly.rtp, because of the better presentation of of GD&T dimensions. This currently blocked because he cannot search for Dim. Id's.

This can be a usefull function for all report types, textonly either cad reports.

I would like to see the sum of bend angles and the sum of bend rotations in report. Nominal values.

Opition to turn on or off the calibration results from being included in the Report

Probe autocalibrate question from the PC-DMIS user forum.

Add an option to have a table in the report showing 3D distances between Intersection points.

IP1 > IP2

IP2 > IP3

etc

We can change the movements for Clearance Cube to UseTipVector or Axis but a more useful tool can be UseFeatureVector ( the movements to clearance cube to use the feature vector and to activate from F5. Avoidance moves does the same thing but it will be useful in clearance cube motions).What do you think?

The currently-used coloring, XYZ=BGR, is very confusing for most 3D CAD software users.

I suggest to add support for scanner. The simplest way would be that when typing a part number (without the PRG extension) and the enter key, then the part program starts (simple HID support). If  the part program not exists, just a simpel text somewhere shows a error message so it is possible to scan (or enter the keyboard) again. No window to close before trying again.

It should be possible to scan direct after the INSPECT application has started.

As the Manufacturing Industry heads towards automation and more CMM demand, companies like Boeing are asking for a formal Program Change Control Process such as Siemens Team Center. PC-DMIS should be able to accommodate this need.

When a CMM program is released, it should have an associated revision. When changed/updated for any reason, the prior revision program should be archived, documented change history recorded, and the new revision program released for use.

In 2017 R2 the ability to press Ctrl + Left click to select a feature has been removed. now you have to go the longer way of right clicking and navigating to the 'move to' option.

bring it back !

I'm measuring a cylinder on one of our parts and the max was out of tolerance.  the report was not showing it out of tolerance because it takes the average of the min and max.   the operator did not catch this and the part was shipped to the customer.  is there a was to report the min and max as a out of tolerance feature on the report?
