PC-DMIS 2023.2 - Two bugs with the auto cylinder (centering thread scan strategy)

Hello,

I found two bugs with the auto cylinder (centering thread scan strategy).
Link to Helpfile -> https://nexus.hexagon.com/documentationcenter/bundle/pcdmis-2024.2-cmm/page/measurement_strategies/Cylinder_Centering_Thread_Scan_Strategy.htm

1 - Filter can't be deactivated

The filter of auto cylinders (centering thread scan strategy) can't be deactivated:

  1. I open the cylinder and see the filter is active
  2. I set the filter to None and close the feature
  3. I save the routine and close it
  4. I reopen the routine
  5. I open the feature and see, that the filter is active again

2 - Ending offset changes randomly

We have a master routine with a thread scan. It is a 190° segment with a pitch of 2.9mm.
We run up to 30 parts of these with Operator Interface. OI copies the master routine and runs them locally.

Now randomly the ending offset gets changed. Even within the same pallet run.
We then notice this because of the bad results. It is also obvious in the graphics window.

I can have 28 of 30 parts measured correctly and 2 measured wrong.

It happens with different routines not only one.

 

Could you guys have a look at this?

I can send you the routines if you send me an upload link.

  • Need to investigate further but I don't have a lot of time at the moment.  I noticed that if I created a self centering thread scan cylinder through the dialog, the filter got re-activated after closing and re-opening the routine - like you experienced.  However, if I edit my MSE settings for the self centering thread scan, setting the filter to "NONE" and opting to expose that setting in the widget, the features retain the filter status when closing/re-opening the routine.  Not entirely sure what is going on but this may at least be a possible work around for now.
