Any CAM2 users here? A bit frustrated by what I know are two simple things.

I noticed some old posts in regards to CAM2, and it seemed there were a few here familiar with it. For the life of me I cannot find a forum for it, so I figured I might as well try here. The only XP I have is with DMIS, and I know this is much more simple. Which is making me even more frustrated.

Anyhow, the first issue I am having is simply getting the measurements to line up and display with the model area I selected. For instance I select a surface, measure the plane, but it displays way up above connected to it's own feature box. However it then has a line heading all the way to the area that I measured on the part. When I highlight one it selects both, so they have to be connected. All I want to do is select a model feature, go measure it and have it display off of the part model. Ideas?

The second issue I have is setting up a report. Anytime I use the spreadsheet based editor and change something it will never display "pass" at the bottom of the generated report. So the only option I have is to use a built in one but they never work as well as I would like. For instance if I only measure two dimensions, I want them to both display at the bottom of the sheet. It always breaks them into two separate pages, unless I delete all of the session information.

I know this might be a shot in the dark, but figured I might as well try here. Thanks for any help!

  • I believe that if you didn't use measured features, but only measuring on the CAD (like PC-DMIS program mode), you would be able to do that (don't know if CAM2 has that option), but then you would only have nominal dimensions - not actually measured values (since you are "measuring" on the CAD...).

    Establishing the relation between the measured features and the CAD model applies to any metrology software, really.
