Hello all,
Is there a script out there that can check to see if vector points and DMIS feat/points are on the cad surface and
if not, project them onto the nearest cad surface.
Why a script? There are several functions to that end in the interface. Edit->Graphics display window->Point nominal deviation may be the best IMO. Another is Operation->Features->Update nominals from CAD. That one is a bit useful because you can print a report and display the difference visually afterwards if you wish. Like if you need to document the errors in detail.
You can also check find nominals during execution in the list under F5 and run the program offline. I would not recommend that though, too easy to forget to uncheck it and the operator will then get wierd message boxes when running online.
Thanks LostL,
I didn't realize there were some automated functions within PCDMIS that would accomplish that.
I'll definitely try what you suggested.
I guess you don't need a custom script for everything. Thanks again
LostL,
I used the Edit->Graphics display window->Point nominal deviation and it worked great. It gave the the option to write contents to clipboard for a report of the deviations.
For some reason, when I tried the Operation->Features->Update nominals from CAD, it wouldn't let me print a report. Unless I did something wrong.
Was not very clear, when using Update nominals he leaves the measured values of updated points. You can then do a profile of surface evaluation to view the difference and make a report from that.
