Have a part here that has a deep cored pocket that you can not get down in with the laser. The solution ( which I have done in the past ) is to cut a portion of the casting away after you get as much of the part scanned as you can. Then reset the part up and do an equate alignment and scan the area you couldn't get the first time around.
Went to do that today and PC DMIS will not equate. Did a little test program with just hard prob hits and same result, PC DMIS will not equate the two set ups( this is in 2014 ) Back saved the little test program back to 2011 MR1 and it equates just fine. Tried to back save my main program back to 2011 MR1.....didn't have much confidence in it working as I have tried in the past to do this and it just crashes when opening in 2011 MR1....must have something to do with the point cloud that causes it to crash.
Funny thing is I just used the equate option in 2014 on a different part last week and it worked fine.
Thanks again PC DMIS.
My rant for the day.
