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

  • No you can still run all features it just depends on how you want the run sequence to be based characterisics based or feature based its been a few years since I used Calypso so things may have changed.

    excuse my ignorance about Calypso but I am asking merely to understand what that software can do. So how does one write a program? Are there no Moves To's between features? If not how does it get around the part and go to other angles and the bottom of the part? when you switch between different features or by dimension how does it not crash?
