I run a Romer 7535 arm, and have just upgraded to pc dmis 2018 R2 last week. Typically we use a free form alignment (best fit) for the contoured parts we create. The first few inspections with the new software I had no issues. It seems now though I can't get a proper lock in. I'm picking points on datum surfaces and going through the normal steps, but now when I try the free form alignment it doesn't seem to compensate surfaces. For example, it's telling me the right end of the part is .070" long, and the left end is .070" short, instead of compensating for the difference. Typically when I best fit to some points on a couple datums, it will give me next to nominal on those surfaces, then I can see the error in other features relating back to the datums
I've tried using lots of different points. I've tried resetting the probe files. I've also gone back to our old PC DMIS version and had no issues. When I come back to 2018 R2 however, it still doesn't seem to work. Any thoughts?
