If a Blueprint calls for ASME Y14.5 wouldn't this be the standard rules apply. How would I know if and when to apply ISO? I have yet to see anything on a blueprint stating this. The reason I bring this up is for the good old Profile callout. Before I make an argument, I want to cover all my resources. Customer already claims in an email that PC-DMIS is not capable of doing this. I and everyone on here already that's horse_S_H_I_T. But its Friday and I'm ready to P_I_S_S someone off
If your customer claims PC-DMIS cannot do ISO - he is partly correct, in a way... You see in earlier versions of PC-DMIS the default calculation was ASME and there were NO obvious way to change this. Even today, operators around the world are running old(er) versions of PC-DMIS calculating profile according to ASME when they actually should calculate it according to ISO! Sigh... Maybe this is what the customer claims?
In newer versions, this is controlled by the combobox in the XactMeasure (FCF builder) dialog, so it has become MUCH easier to control which STD should be used for calculation.
The solution for older versions is to set the registry flag "UseISOCalculations" to TRUE and PC-DMIS will calculate profile according to ISO. I am not sure if the registry key even exist before you add/change it(!). For this to apply, you need to restart PC-DMIS every time you change it in order for the partprogram to calculate it accordingly.
What is the customers claim exactly? That PC-DMIS can't do ISO or ASME?
