Hello, I'm programming on a new CMM and having issues with my manual alignments. I have been programming in offline mode and whenever I try to run my programs on the machine after I pick up my manual alignment I get this error message: ERROR CE ,S% ,TR_CE…
I've inserted a snippet of a part I'm currently working with its not the entire print. can someone explain in the simplest of terms how I need to align this part so when I measure my dimensions it does so correctly? also can someone explain why you chose…
If I do a DCC alignment to the part's datums in A90B180, then rotate the tip to A90B0 to use DCC mode to measure something else, do I need to re do the DCC alignment from scratch? Assume calibration is good on all tips and tip angles. I have heard you…
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…
Hi guys, first post here, but I've been scouring the forums for hours trying to find the solution to this one
I've got a set of features that are common across a slew of different parts, so I've made a subroutine that measures those features and reports…
Can someone please walk me through how to read this and do my alignment please im so lost i have 2 more print pages if needed it would help me out greatly, i am beyond frustrated at this point. Please and thank you

Dear forum members, does anybody can share his/her experience of round parts alinment when using a portable arm? I tried to align tube with two rounded slots and through holes but each time I faced with inversion of two coordinates after alignment - when…
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…
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…
Hello all,
The programmer before me made all of his programs by starting in DCC mode. foregoing the manual alignment and instead just adding notes on where to set the part on the grid plate in the exact same location every time.
Our small old…
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…
Hi All,
Probably I am the newest member of this community.
I just finished my CMM training last week. So i am very new to this job.
I need to check a part as described in the title but the problem is when i do manual alignment all goes fine but…
Hi all, I am new to PC-DMIS (2021R1 CAD++) and have been working on trying to configure a measurement for a couple weeks now. I do apologize for my terminology ahead of time. This forum has helped tremendously with the other measurements for this part…
Hello everyone!
last week i came across an issue in which first hole was mismarked during production.
The part was similar to attached image with two set of holes 1st set has 30 holes and 2nd has 59, in which 1st hole of both set are inline with each…
Genius' of the PCDMIS Forum, good morning and I present to you another aggravating problem that landed on my desk.
I have a unique situation. Our forming branch needs a program made for a window trim, assumed it'd be easy enough as its just reporting…
I am trying to set the datum, but I wonder if there is a way to set the datum a when datum A is a curved surface as shown in the figure.
version : pc-dmis cad++ 2018 r1
Forgive my ignorance. i just finished up cmm 101 and have not been using a cmm for quite some time. attached is a photo of what i am trying to measure. A and C are planes and B and D can be circles or cylinders I am trying to get this aligned so i can…
The length of the part is outside the measurement range of the equipment.
So, during the software measurement, the parts are moved, the reference axis is moved, and the remaining parts are taken.
I want to find the difference between A1 and A2 when…
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…
Hi,
i am trying to inspect TP of a point considering only PA (angular variation),
while generating output I'm getting same value wile when considering both PA & PA.
can someone please guide me what's going wrong and how i can generate TP with PA…
Roughly determining the ID thread clocking to locate the thread start for maximum surface area for lead in chamfer diameter measurement. Basically, measuring the countersink of at most 1/3 the circumference of an internal thread entrance. I need to know…
Hello all, I'm back.
The organization I'm at currently likes to run multiple parts in programs using "Paste with Pattern". I'm writing a program that measures 4 parts, and I would like it to print 4 clean reports. If I use 4 "PRINT/REPORT" commands…
Dear sir,
I have a part having datum A as plane, Datum B&Datum C as circle but the Datum B is with an angle to Datum A, it is not perpendicular to Datum A so when i going to call the position of some circles wrt ABC then a message show as secondary…
Hi Everyone!
I am working with a forge part with no datum structure. It is calling for a profile of .120 u .09 to itself. (+.09/-.03).
My though is that the simplest way to approach this is with an iterative alignment (machine to part),…
