PC-DMIS Version 2024.1 (Service Pack 2)
CAD images are not displaying in reports when created on screen or saved as a PDF.
This appears to be a local issue on the laptop connected to the AbsoluteArm, as reports generated using the same data on a remote…
Good Day!
I have problem with defining the database "E" like on picture below (marked on blue).
(pic. 1) (section H (circle on pic. 1))
Below photo from PC-DMIS CAD
My question is if I should make database "E" as constructed plane? All points…
I am trying to figure out just the start to finish method to align the cad model to the actual part itself in order for the cmm to know the true parts location. Can someone help break that down for me? Brand new to CMM and where I work just now started…
Hello All,
Recently on our shop floor CMM we have been having issues when closing programs, as it is saving the program and closing it stores the CAD. In our case while its storing the CAD, the program crashes and corrupts the CAD file. Program will…
I am working with PCDMIS and a 7axis Hexagon roamer arm. Currently I have a fairly complex part and with several compound angles about the duct work on this part and do not have a solid model but need one. Is there a good method of probing planes and…
Good morning all,
I have a question in regards to a true position stack up.
I am using a CAD model to probe the part but my Z nominal is incorrect. which should be the nominal distance from plane A to the hole so it is throwing my tolerance off…
Hello all,
I am hitting a major block in my programing for a cylindrical part.
After importing the CAD model and establishing an alignment, my trihedron is right where I want it. using a top plane to level the part and establish translation in…
Need help!! Not sure why PC-DMIS keeps giving me bad results. I have created different alignments, different hits, different workplanes and views but PC-DMIS still gives me wrong numbers. Any suggestions on what is going on?
On the blueprint I have…
Is it possible to update
Nominals & Tol . same for some selected features according to my drawing ?
I don't have any
CAD model , and I need to call dimensions for
100 position dimensions.
I'm using
Legacy Mode , for that reason I need…
Hello everyone! I am having trouble trying to figure out how to align and dimension this part. I am programming offline to a supplied CAD model from the customer (I can't upload the file but I took screenshots of what the part looks like). The only dimensions…
Good Morning! I'm new to using CAD models. I only used them in class. I created a manual plane, line, point alignment to make the model aligned with the machine. The problem I'm having is when I change my alignment or workplane, my points are no longer…
Hi All,
We're currently making (and measuring) a very complex part that, among other things, has 10 fin-like projections that other parts fasten to. I would post a screenshot, but sadly it's ITAR. These fins have a .001"/1x1 flatness tolerance that…
Hello! I am having trouble trying to dimension to an intersection point created by two constructed best fit lines. The dimensions (.150 and .250) are not measuring at nominal even though it is programmed off the CAD model. I made the constructed lines…
Hi Guys,
We recently purchased a 9-12-8 Global S machine with a scanning head. The length of the indexing portion (scanning head + longer tip) kind of freaked us out, and we wanted to be able to simulate the machine offline in order to catch collisions…
Good day everyone, I have a problem with legacy reporting in that at times when PC-DMIS outputs to PDF the CAD is suddenly zoomed out, making it difficult to read the report i.e leader lines mashed up etc. Does anyone know how this can be fixed?
Hi
My question is i always make a custom report with dimension labels showing deviation on cad model in report. To do that i mark my program then select the dimensions i took for that particular view- cut and undo them and they show up on CAD model…
I am unaware of any option in the settings to turn off move points. I have tried Cntrl+M typing in move/ and hitting the move point button on the jog box. I have also been trying to make a clearance plane and I cannot add move/clearplane either. Does…
I have a program and once I mirror it the program mirrors properly but the CAD doesn't follow into the new program. It seems to only work sometimes. Am I doing something wrong to cause this?
Thanks in advance!
Hello, I have a very big print with at least 100 dimensions being called out on it, now the problem i'm having is that after i imported the cad in and match my part set up to the cad, the xy are switched on the print on pcdmis y forward and back and x…
I have a blueprint that has a callout to measure the depth from a specified point on my part (bottom of a specific depth) to a plane(top of the part ) . I am unsure the correct way to measure the part in order to get the correct dimension as well as which…
I recently wrote a program for our DCC machine and everything is looking good but, when looking at the graphic display window, my measurements are floating above the CAD model and it's throwing off all of my Z dimensions. I show my origin on the CAD along…
I'm a new CMM user, having recently taken the PC-DMIS 101 training, and I'm having difficulty synchronizing my imported CAD with the machine. I've searched through the forum for similar issues, but nothing has helped yet. I may simply be skipping a step…
Hello,
After starting with a new program and importing a step file, i perform level, rotate, and then origin to a feature on the cad model. However, the feature selected moves to the trihedron instead of the trihedron moving to the feature selected…
I searched the forum and came up empty handed. I have 2 seats of PcDmis one shows scans as small little black lines and the other shows them as spheres and colored according to deviation. I want both to be colored spheres. Anyone?
Lines:
Spheres…
We just jumped from 2014 to 2017. In 2017 when I rotate the CAD model it seems to slip away from my mouse quite often.
Has anyone else had this issue? When I run 2014 again it works just fine...
It makes me want to fight my computer!
