HAVE THE ABILITY TO LAYER YOUR DIMENSIONS AND FEATURES

R WELCH 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

When programming have the option to group features and dimensions to different layers or work groups. 

Example: Left hand dimensions - Right hand dimensions 

These could be in separate groups and you can bring them into the screen either together or individually.

You should be able to have as many layers as you want. So another example of you had a grid of 100 holes you could layer them as different groups top middle and back.

Have the option to easily group the dimensions under a specific name. 

If you have a vast amount of features and dimensions this would make it much easier to dimension features.

I have seen this implemented with other CMM software's which work very well.

Addition inside each auto feature dialog box regarding dimension name

Ron Ringler 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Please add inside each auto feature dialog box under the feature name another box to name the corresponding dimension so that you do not have to close the box and name the dimension then reopen the auto feature box

Show / hide button in Edit Window for dimensions to see CAD grafical analysis

Similar to show / hide features you'll be able to easily toggle CAD grafical analysis if needed instead of editing the dimension.

Use multiple print commands in a row_make more intuitive

DAN_M_413 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by Kingsld1 3 years ago 1

Currently...

If you use the PRINT commands to create digital inspection reports & you want to create multiple copies of the same report & send it multiple places....We have to mess around with different printing templates OR have the PCD use COPY commands to copy the pdf it makes from one folder to another...


What we'd like...

The ability to use multiple print commands in a row inside of PC DMIS. 


For example:

[code]

`

`

`

Program

`

`

`

Dimensions

`

print command 1 (send to C/blahblah/Location1

print command 1 (send to C/blahblah/Location2

print command 1 (send to C/blahblah/Location3

print command 1 (send to C/blahblah/Location4

print command 1 (send to C/blahblah/Location5

[/code]

Histogram function for profiles of surface

Nick 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Add the ability to display a histogram of all deviations for a profile of surface dimension. Previous functionality was lost during the transition to the new GD&T system. 

previously; you were able to do this by either displaying the 'report graph' then modifying its template in the report to the 'dimension histogram', or by adding in a 'dimension histogram' to a custom report, then dropping various dimensions (such as profiles of surface) onto the object in the report and have the deviations displayed as a histogram relative to the tolerance zone. 

Particularly helpful when the majority of the surface is in tolerance, but there may be only a few outliers that fall on heavy rads/burrs/fod. Gives you a better sense than just the graphical display, or the textual one.

positive reporting

Currently, it appears GD&T dimensions do not support 'POSITIVEREPORTING' . I would prefer that it does.

Construct pierced point from axis to 3D curved irregular surfaces.

Bitola 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Would be very helpful for measuring bone plates to check the distance from top of the screw to the point where the screw is piercing at the bottom of the plate (irregular 3D surface).

PCDMIS 2021.1 Add toggle to control the view of tolerance lines when graph is On in view orientation.

Bitola 3 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

When adding improvements to the software, try to keep the old feature with just adding toggle to switch between old and improvement, instead removing the old feature. Add toggle to hide tolerance lines behind the surfaces like it was  in all versions until  2020
