Automatically exporting a pointcloud

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if you can write into the program code to automatically export measured results into a pointcloud (.iges format) once a program has run. I know how to do it manually once I have measured a part but was hoping there is a way to include it in the programming so it doesn't get forgotten each time a part is measured.

Thanks in advance.

  • You can export only nominals by using the manual .iges export function in the "File" menu. You should only need to do that once so shouldn't be a big deal to export it manually. The COP functions don't have an explicit "Nominal Export" mode. I do it by running the program offline but I always program offline so not a big deal. There is also a function to reset all measured values to nominal. I believe it is in the operations menu. In my experience this one can be a bit funky because constructed features don't always update correctly. It appears that everything has been reset but until you actually run it offline it isn't fully reset.
