"Cannot find Nominals"

Hi,

I am having an issue when running a programme on PCDMIS 2014 SP4. A "cannot find nominals" text box is popping up when running certain programmes.

What I would really appreciate is, what exactly is causing this to pop up and are there any consequences for ignoring the message.

For Example if I click yes and update previous scans or if I say ignore and don't update scans, will this have an effect on the results?

I am not the one who writes the programmes (Guys in the US do this O am from Ireland!) and our programmers don't seem to know how to resolve the issue nor do they know what are the consequences for selecting yes or no on the text box.

A fix for this and some insight into how and why it comes up would be seriously appreciated!
Thanks,

Cian

  • Hi,

    I am facing similar kind of issue. However in my case, I am not seeing any dialogue box but when I finish a scan and use XactMeasure to report the output, I get deviation as .001". if I hit F9 and click on GET NOMINALS and click OK to close edit box, PC-DMIS ask me if I want to update nominals. If I click YES, the profile output rose to 0.063" in deviation. I am using a 3mm probe or (.118" dia or .059" radius).

    Is PC-DMIS gets confused on calculating the output? Which results should I trust? .001" or .063"? I am also posting before and after code.

    deviation is .066"

    I didn't change the scan in meantime. I don't understand where it the error coming from.
