Good looking Portable Reporting on Romer/Hexagon Arm

zoolander303
I had a couple questions currently my employer uses another software for laser scanning with a LLP but I am trying to explain to them since we use PCDMIS for the CMM we should also use it for the arm it would make everything more uniform measuring the same parts as far as reporting, alignments etc.. They seem to be hung up on the pretty color maps and 3d deviation points of polyworks or geomagic, i was wondering if any of you on here could enlighten me of some good looking reports with color maps, annotation points etc from a portable arm I can use as ammunition to get them to come around, i would really appreciate it even if its on the the hexagon block just something since i dont have the license for a portable arm to be able to show this.

  • Hot tip for color maps: make sure your surface vectors are right. If they aren't, your colormaps simply won't work.

    Edit - Graphic Display Window - CAD Vectors - box select the whole part, then hit "fix surface vectors".

    You can also turn on back face culling to see the borked surfaces disappear:

    Edit - Graphic Display Window - Lighting, Materials - Lighting - back face culling ON

    Also, in my painful experience, DON'T try to use scanning to derive edge points. "Need more scan data" is the stuff of nightmares ....
