Automatic Alignment to defined datums

Lee Miller 3 years ago 0

Adding an option to build an alignment from datum features that have been measured and defined. This would allow for quick manual GD&T compliant alignments in the same manner GeoTol already does.

PCDmis always uses circular moves on spheres

Smasherofprobes 3 years ago updated 3 years ago 2

Constantly having to check the box for "Circular moves" when picking up Tooling Spheres in DCC. It should default to circular moves when measuring spheres! I understand there is an option in F5 to "Use circular moves on round features", but I only want to apply this to spheres.

Choose dimension color in edit window when elements aren't executed

mihael rakic 3 years ago 0

When a feature isn't executed, because of a partial execution, then the related dimension will turn red. This is confusing for the user, because you'll think the dimension has a out of tolerance. 

Suggestion: Give another color than red for elements which are skipped.

Watermark the report

Constadin 3 years ago 0

As per title, a neat feature would be to allow watermarks on the report (based on coding) for when a report is needed just for reference for example or if some reports are trial measurements etc.

Error Log

Richmond 3 years ago 0

We need to have a log of any errors that Occur on the machine. I'm sure we have all had the problem of something happening on the CMM'S and no one knows anything about it. If we had a unalterable record this would help us diagnose the issue and get things going  a lot more quickly.

On the Zeiss machines its a pop up window that's always there keeping track of what's going on. I would like the option to have something similar.

Multiple Routine Windows

Nathan S 3 years ago updated by Cristopher Chingwa 3 years ago 1

Be able to have more than one routine open beside each other. I know you can open different windows, but you can't have them beside each other. I would like to be able to have two different routines open beside each other with the same software version. So, if I want to copy some features from one routine, I can easily implement them into the other one without changing my entire screen.

Show Calibration Result as Prompt Option

Utku 3 years ago 0

Hello,

After tip calibration, user has to go "Results" to see calibration result. If not, user has no idea about it or user can forget to check result. To prevent this, we can use a check box such as "show calibration result after calibration is done" in Setup or somewhere else. With this box checked, user can be able to see Results immediately. This prevents that if results are bad, it cannot be overlooked. 

Best Regards.

Lower Matrix Reminder

Utku 3 years ago 0

Hello,

As you know, Lower Matrix Calibration is essential to use analog probes correctly. However, I see that so many customer does not realize the importance of it and they neglect doing it. This causes problems in measurements. We have so many mails coming to hotline about inconsistancy between probes, tips, etc and most them are related to lack of Lower Matrix. 

In my opinion, we need to have option to remind Lower Matrix such as in Probe Utilies, Setup like reminder for Probe calibration hours and days. 

Best Regards.
