Undimensioned Features

cmmjdl
I'm looking for an option that appears in Zeiss' Calypso hoping that there's a similar approach with DMIS.
When programming a complex part with a model, I like to program around the part in a logical manner measuring all features
I can reach. I then dimension what I've measured to the customer's drawing. There are occasions where a feature on the part
is not dimensioned on the drawing but I've measured it. Calypso won't run a non dimensioned feature thereby leaving that feature grey as an indicator is wasn't dimensioned. This prevents me from missing anything on the part whether it's been dimensioned on the drawing on not. DMIS on the other hand will measure everything, dimensioned or not.
Is there a way for me to tell that one of say 500 features is measured but not dimensioned with DMIS?

Thanks

  • I read your question as "Is there a way to get PC-DMIS to inform me about features measured but not dimensioned in any way?". If so, the answer is "no, not out of the box".

    Technically, a Basic script could be written that collects all feature names, goes through all dimensions and [in some way] marks all the features that are dimensioned, and finally outputs a list of those features that never got a mark. Should be doable, but I have no real idea how complicated it would be before it's verified correct. And it would need updating each time PC-DMIS gets a new feature or dimension type.
