Point set creation problems

Hello, can you help ?

i cannot create scan - its of points and points from cylinders like here: 

when i select all the points and cylinders then i connect them in one feature just need to use .HIT[..n] to all cylinders 

but pc-dmis do not let me to do it i just cannot write anything anfter some point ... please take look at image its there

CYL7.HIT[1.. 

but there is no ] 

and i cannot add anything more, what is problem and what is this logic here to solve it 

  • Can you modify anything in that line? Like if you deleted CYL7, then manually typed it back in with the proper formatting. If it gives a popup error, it may be a line length limit.

  • It appears you are creating a point SET, not a scan.

    A SET is a consolidation of already measured points, basically a point cloud.

    Some code in PCDMIS has length restrictions.  You might have found the character length restriction for a point set.

    You can circumvent this potentially by creating hit arrays within assignments, then reference each assignment array, instead of each individual hit within the SET. 

  • Thank you 

    There was no Pop up or antyhing just cannot write more and its all info from software, so never know is it bug or some kind of functionallity 

    Points set - it has clear meaning in English - they translated it to some weird thing (like there was no google)  to my language but with automatic short name "SCAN" , i try to remmber 

    It  seems to be weird because its like every time i made new point set it has liike a little differend characters name ...pc-dmis 

    i made two points sets connected it in another one and it works 

  • That's the way it is in PC-DMIS.  Normally, it's better to build up features such as cylinders out of individual points, rather than trying to get the individual points out of cylinders.

    Note that the software does have some feature calculation and constructed filter errors, so thoroughly test each activity so you know what to avoid.
