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,
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…
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…
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!
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…
Ok, I'm sure these questions have been asked in some form or another and in fact, I'm sure my last post might have even touched on this topic, but the gurus here tend to espouse knowledge that's a tad bit over my head. So I'm looking for a "For Dummies…
I have been trying to write a program for a part and have noticed that my part print nominals aren't matching up with my CAD nominal. After looking closely at the part print, I noticed a direction arrow and a die pull arrow with a degree called out. This…
Hello, I'm fairly new to CMM programming with CAD models, I just started a month ago and I haven't had any major problems until now. I have to say that I never had a proper formation on CMM programming at all, I learned everything I know by my own.

Hey everyone,
I would say I am an average level programmer, not so great at working with models with complex origins though. I was just wondering if anyone could offer me some links, advice, help, anything to learn how to manipulate the origin in…
