CAD transform programmability

David Bendes
Dear Everyone!
I'm trying to write some sort of an automation that can determine the translation compensation of EDM electrodes. The compensation is the difference between the CAD model position and the actual machined electrode position (we are using EROWA fixtures for high precision repeatable positioning).
For this task I need to use the CAD transform window to reposition the electrode by some 0.1 mm-s after each measurement, but it's highly time consuming. Is there some way to:
1. call CAD transform actions via VBA or any other means?
2. translate measured features by a certain vector all at once?
Thanks for your help.

  • This is right in the AUTOFEATURES dialog within PCDmis itself (Vector Point Advanced in the MISC area.). I've not done anything with automation, so this may not work for you, but somewhere there has to be PCDmis code that does the checks, it's within PCDmis itself. It does work exactly the way I discribed as well. I've used it in the past to check trodes and compensate for over burn.
