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

  • My short answer is no I have not found a similar feature in dmis, and for all who have not used Calypo the program will not physicaly measure a feature if you have not reported a dimension it will just skip that feature end result can be broken probe as navigation is feature dependent in the vesion I used if using sub clearances

    So in pcdmis talk are you saying it will automatically UNMARK a feature because it has not been dimensioned on a report? So if I am using tooling balls on a fixture and using them only for alignment and they are not on the my print I still have to dimension them on my report?
