Program not running correct after manual alignment

I made a simple program in the offline mode with the model on the CMM. After I do the manual alignment (plane-circle-circle) it seems to measure everything with an offset. In DCC mode it measures the plane a few hundred thousandths off and crashes on the side of the first circle as if the circle is too small. I've verified the vectors are correct on the model and on the alignment features (and they are aligned in the correct order). The main hole is over 2" and I changed the hole diameter to .375 in the program and it still wants to crash. I've tried CAD=part, I've moved the manual alignment around, and few other tricks but it just doesn't want to run. The path lines look good and simulates perfect. This is the 3rd time on this machine this has happened. I've never seen this problem before. This machine is really ticking me off! It's a 6month old Hexagon global performance running PCdmis 2015.0 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I see this frequently and while not positive, I'm convinced it has something to do with the transition from offline to machine.

    Anyway, Two options here. Both may or may not work but one definitely should:

    1> Perform your manual alignment then Cancel the program and start it over from the DCC ON command...If that doesn't work...

    2> Go to one of your DCC alignment features...Edit the theoretical location of one or all axis by deleting whats there and typing in the same thing, for example, if the theoretical location of your dcc plane is (0,0,0) delete the zero in the "Z" spot and type in a zero. When you click out of that field PCDMIS should ask if you want to update all commands below that point with the new alignment...Click YES

    3> Run program from DCC on command

    If this works the program will run fine until the next Manual alignment at which point the above procedure will have to be repeated. If it doesn't work then your having an issue that sounds just like my issue but is actually different. I hop this works for ya cause I know how extremely aggravating this is....Good Luck
