Read point

ProbFlex
Hi everyone Sunglasses!

1.What am i doing wrong? the readpoint wont move or even touch the part when i put the probe where i like to start.
the cad model was provided with the trihedron located where is shown in the picture. i also try putting a point where i like it the ZERO origin the read point and didn't work. Disappointed
2. how can i put the CODE on here instead of copy and past?
3. i cant adjust my edit window. it is to high to click on the bar on top to move it. how can i fix this?

sorry, wont let me upload the picture.

  • If you have a CAD model, I will pick a point on the model and align to it as a readpoint. Or use a feature, hole, etc, then align to it.

Place the probe in the hole closest to the operator

  • AS for adding code; use the hash tag # on the tool bar
  • It won't move at all? Does it give an error?
  • Try something like this:
    Move the Mode DCC after your first alignment: 
    STARTUP =ALIGNMENT/START,RECALL:USE_PART_SETUP,LIST=YES

  • When you use a read-point with CAD, the THEO XYZ of the read-point must match the XYZ of where you're taking your read-point.

    So if your CAD origin is in the hole you are starting with the THEO values should be 0,0,0, however if your start hole is at 50,75,20 then your THEO values for the read-point should be 50,75,20.
  • in reply to VinniUSMC
    no error, just goes to save report. as if ran.
  • in reply to brian.freeman
    @ProbFlex
    Make sure the MODE/DCC is after the Readpoint otherwise it will 'take the point' anywhere the probe is
  • Yes, As you insert features, PC-DMIS will 'try to locate the features' in DCC Mode, such as this: 
    COMMENT/OPER,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
Touch the top of the Flange approximately center.

    Then I will refine the alignment until all 6DOF are contained
  • What I do is Transform the cad in such a way that the trihedron is where i want the RP at. Once i do that, I select Control G and set the alignment.
