  • DEMINSIONING A CROSS SECTION

    So, I have a part that is essentially a ring with an ID and an OD. I have scanned them to get the dimensions and put them on the report. The customer wants the C/S on the report as well. Is there any way to use the scans to get the C/S dimension? or do…

  • COP Export for Scan Data

    When I use the COP command to export TTP strategy features in PC-DMIS it works just fine. But for whatever reason when I setup the point cloud to export scanned features, it deselects only the scanned features and never exports them in my point cloud…

  • Can I jump clamps while scanning?

    So, I have a part that I have to clamp down to the table and want to utilize the scan feature because its more efficient. Is there a way to jump the clamps while scanning? I have tried to separate the scan by using to begin and end degrees then trying…

    Hello, I found two bugs with the auto cylinder (centering thread scan strategy). Link to Helpfile -> https://nexus.hexagon.com/documentationcenter/bundle/pcdmis-2024.2-cmm/page/measurement_strategies/Cylinder_Centering_Thread_Scan_Strategy.htm 1…

  • Surface Profile Callout Differences Between Individual and Combined Scans in PC-DMIS

    I’ve been working with PC-DMIS and noticed discrepancies when analyzing surface profile callouts on grouped scanned data. Here’s what I’m observing, and I’d like to confirm if my understanding of the underlying calculations is correct. Observations…

  • scans showing error, no dimensional information

    so, on occasion, we have scans that don't report any information. this is something that shows up, then goes away. these are nulfilter scans that when I un-check interate and repierce, the issues goes away, but then the actual report can have wild swings…

  • Strange Scan behavior (wobbly scan path)

    I have some strange scan behavior where two machines behave differently. Maybe some of you can give me some insight why this might be happening. We have two machines of the same type. Both Tigos with a fixed scanning head (HP-S-X1-C). Both recently…

  • position of a welded cylinder

    Good morning, I have recently set up a program for a welded flange that has a position callout from one welded cylinder to a perpendicular plane(A) and a cylinder (B) located on the flange beyond the welded cylinder . it has a position of .025…

  • Comparing two COPs of the same part

    Hello, We use our arm for measuring parts after test. Right now trying to see if we can compare a scan of a sample taken before test to a scan of the same sample taken after test. Our romer arm and sample fixture don't move so I don't think I need…

  • Wrong parameters when creating a routine offline

    Hello everyone I have a bit of a strange problem with scanning and I hope maybe one of you guys knows the solution or gets me on the right track. I have 3 different machines and an offline station. 1x Leitz PMM-C 1x DEA Global Advantage …

  • How to change Find_Noms Preference for SCANS

    I'm performing a Find_Noms Scan and while executing it, I got the good ol' error asking me to adjust my tolerance. I mistakenly told it to delete the hits that didnt meet the tolerance: How can I undo this? now whenever I run the feature it will delete…

  • Scanning Setup with Readpoint

    Hello everyone, Lets start with the 'light' information: Leitz: LSPX1H_T Software: 2015.1 Mach: DEA 15.30.10 The machine allows me a good area in 'Y' to locate my part, it also has 12x slot locations that are put in at a nearly 40º angle…

  • Measurement of scan length

    I work in a facility where we make transmission insulators for power lines. We have to measure what they call leakage per customer drawing. We recently purchased a CMM machine and now EVERYONE wants EVERYTHING checked on it. Of course it's a new toy I…

  • PC-DMIS 2017 (interop.pcdlrn.dll) issue on profile of a surface measurements

    Hi, i am software programer so i dont really know about inspection and CMM. i am having issue using the library interop.pcdlrn.dll for the command "perimeter scan" for a "profile of surface". when i'm using the librairy it shows a measurement…

  • Getting Error while scanning

    Hi Guys, We have a scanning error in a controlled program. The starting point of the scanning surface goes to opposite surface and then it runs normally, All the programs which have scanning same like this gives some trouble to us nowadays which we…

  • Body axis scan question

    Hello everyone, I’m using body axis scan to create 3D lines then intersect the lines. One line horizontal and the other roughly vertical. My concern is the lines are not where I expect they would be. For example I set a body axis scan for Z-6.000…

  • Lines to Spheres Scan appearance?

    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…

  • best analog scan

    I am struggling with this particular feature and i am not entirely sure why. I had it scanned 3 times by linear open scans then combined them in a constructed feature set. I dimensioned that as a profile of a surface, but it was not working properly as…

  • Issue with graphical view of green path lines in auto feature

    is there any way to skip hole on a cone that has flats on it? i cant get it to rotate around even when i modify the start and end angles. Also, the path lines dont match the measurement strategy. not sure what exactly is going on, maybe i am doing something…

  • Stable Probe function ?

    Dear guys, I've been trying to find "Stable Probe" function, as mentioned in forum The arm that I am using is RA-7330 If you look inside your "portable" tool bar there should be an icon for stable probing. You can also find it underneath…

  • Scanning with a TP20- PCdmis 2015-

    is it possible to program/operate using the scaning function (linear/patch/perimeter) with a TP20 probe? And if so does it actually drag the probe or take single points? and is it worth using it for a large surface or should i stick to single points?…

  • Choppy Scanning

    I am trying to laser scan something with my Romer Arm, but for some reason the scan is super delayed and my scans are coming across very choppy compared to a smooth scan that I'm use to. I have a feeling it's in the settings. But I've never had this problem…

  • Scan Measured to Nominal

    Howdy everyone, I'm trying to get my scans to register the measured values and use them as nominals for future scans. But all the points don't seem to be changing. Any ideas? MOVE/CLEARPLANE SCN2 =FEAT/SCAN,LINEAROPEN,NUMBER OF HITS=20 ,SHOW HITS…

  • wls qflash

    Is anyone using the new Hexagon qflash White Light Scan systems? I am looking for some user feedback regarding accuracy, issues, reporting, bugs etc. I have used a Steinbichler scanner with Polyworks, and also a Romer with Polyworks and I am wondering…

  • How to pull individual points from a scan?

    Not necessarily min or max points, but more like a sample of 15 points from a 1500 point scan...
