JPEG image to ICN

I would like to have an icon displaed when a program is started showing the set-up for the part and probe pins. Is there a way to create an icon out of a JPEG image for Quindos?
  • If you are using Quindos7, then yes, you can display an Img (image) with the command ShowPicText.

    Otherwise, if you are using Quindos6 or earlier, you can not bring a JPEG into Quindos. You can however call a batch file which displays an picture.

    If you have an questions, please contact me at hexagon Metrology

    Call a batch file from within a Quindos program to show an image??
  • For us we use quindos 6 and we draw a picture to show setup. We use the command EDTICN. We give it a name, draw the pic, then use the command HELP, under name type LDBICNDisappointedthe name you gave it). Example I named my icon SETUP, then I would type LDBICN:SETUP, under confirm hit yes. This will show the pic. Then after the pic is created edit the EDTICN out with ! this way it won't prompt you to draw the pic again. So I do !EDTICN.
  • Be careful to save your program before attempting this, quindos likes to lock up a lot when trying to draw a picture.
  • I use Excel for my program setup. We have Solidworks for our prints and I use a screen capture program to cut the 3D model from the print and paste into excel. This way there is a visual representation of the part in the form I use for the part setup. I put all my setup spreadsheets in a central folder for easy access. For me this is better than messing with the icon editor in Q6 and gives me more options for showing how the part is setup.

    se utilizzi Quindos 6 potresti usare questo Comando per visualizzare una foto:
