Importing CMM results into a CAD software (SOLIDWORKS) for comparison

wowie
Hello All,

An engineer has asked me if I am able to import the CMM result I get into SOLIDWORKS so they can compare it to the CAD model. I have never tried and I don't know where to start. Is it possible? If so, how can I do it? I will try to research the topic and I hope I can get someone's help in this forum to help me along. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance...

  • Why not just send them the CAD report? Adjust your point lables accordingly so hopefully the engineer will be able to understand what he/she is looking at. It is, or can be, time consuming but I think what your being asked to do wll end up being rather time consuming anyway. With the CAD report they get to see the pretty pictures and that's what they really want in the end, to see the model in relationship to the points. Hexagon should have a "Crayola" tool bar where the programmer can write notes with crayon on the reports in different colors. If you go this route just make sure you approach the engineer with a juice box /milk carton and a cheese stick and preferebly after they've had their after recess nap.
