  • equate alignment step by step

    Good Afternoon 1st time I'm trying to use equate alignment for a long part - I used to measure part in 2 separated stages so I have 2 separated independent programs. I combined them in one program remembering to change IDs in stage 2 to avoid duplicates…
  • issue moving programs from one cmm to another.

    I have an issue that I have been trying to understand for a while now. I write all my pc-dmis programs on an offline seat in Pc Dmis 2017R2. I work off of models made by our engineers. I make up the programs then I back save them to our online Pc-dmis…
