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

Aleforge
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!

  • Probably too late, but I can probably help get your CAD and measurement data to align. First on the CAD model select your surface you will use for the coordinate system. (Plane, line, point, circle...whatever you are using.) This will be done under the "Pick from CAD" ribbon. Once those are picked create a nominal coordinate system using Primary, secondary, origin. Once that is complete you can highlight the features in the left window, right click, and Add Measurements. Measure the features. Now each feature will have measured and nominal data. However, you still aren't done. Now you have to create a Measured Coordinate System using the same features and same XYZ directions as the "Nominal" coordinate system. Once complete, go under the alignments ribbon you can click manage alignments and do a Coordinate System to Coordinate System alignment.
