Subsequent evaluation - Point files

c_bearden
Like ZEISS Calypso, can PCDMIS output point files (ACTUALS) so that I can go back and run the program "Virtually" and get a report???.....(Subsequent inspection)
Scenario: I run a program (w/ physical part) using least square algorithm but 2-days later, I want to change it to Maximum Inscribed and run the part again.....but I no longer have the part so it needs to be done virtually by importing the Actuals from 2-days ago.....make sense??....

Thanks!

  • I agree with these other folks, saving copies of the program for each part is the way to go. That's what we do where I work and it is a bit of insurance that has saved us quite a few times. It takes a lot of hard disk space, but luckily computer storage is cheap these days.

    Measuring everything as scans and points and then constructing features would make it easier to change the fit math type later, but in a pinch, you can also do constructions using points from other features.

    For example, you can measure a circle with a LeastSquares fit. Then, construct a circle using a maximum inscribed fit using the measured points from the LeastSqures circle. You would either need to select each hit from that circle in your construction or manually insert the FEATNAME.HIT[1..FEATNAME.NUMHITS] code into the construction of that new feature the edit window.
