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!
Hello, I have a very big print with at least 100 dimensions being called out on it, now the problem i'm having is that after i imported the cad in and match my part set up to the cad, the xy are switched on the print on pcdmis y forward and back and x…
I have a blueprint that has a callout to measure the depth from a specified point on my part (bottom of a specific depth) to a plane(top of the part ) . I am unsure the correct way to measure the part in order to get the correct dimension as well as which…
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…
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?

We just jumped from 2014 to 2017. In 2017 when I rotate the CAD model it seems to slip away from my mouse quite often.
Has anyone else had this issue? When I run 2014 again it works just fine...
It makes me want to fight my computer!
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…
Hello
I'm farily new to PC-Dmis, using a romer arm atm.
How do i re-measure something after my program is done and the report generated?
I have highlighted the elements that i want to remeasure and chosen "execute block".
And everything…
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…
Has anyone had a problem with opening a program that you've used before and the CAD is gone? It still runs the program. I can import the CAD again and transform it and it will match the program written. They just seem to randomly disappear. Running PC…
Please See pics and results. Both reports are coming from the exact same part. I have no clue as to why it is doing this so any info on it would help. Running PCDMIS 2010 MR3,
Thanks!

For data analysis purposes, I need to discriminate between two alternating surfaces/materials along a single scan path. I would like to scan once in Master mode, then compare that master set of data against the CAD twice, each time referencing a different…
Hey gents,
I've noticed that the lower tessellation multiplier I set (lower values make models look better), the greater the CAD file file becomes for a given program. To me, this suggests that the CAD file is storing the model tessellation, which…
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.

Attempted to open a Step cad file for a new program on our offline station. As soon as I click on File/Import/ Step I get an error message stating "You can not open M:\Part Programs 325\j.PRG for writing…
I can't get Auto Features to work consistently with my CAD models. I've seen other complain about something like this before, but I don't remember seeing solutions for it, so I thought I'd take another stab...

Its me again, with another newbie question. Im still a novice to PC DMIS, having only taken the Level 1 CAD class to this point. Lets say I have a part lined up with the CAD model. However there is significant warp to the part so that when I go to measure…
Hi, does anyone know how to open a CAD file from PC-DMIS back to a design software like SolidWorks? I did try changing the extension to STP, IGS or STEP but it didn't work.
Thank you!!
I have been asked by engineering to determine if a part can be checked in a vertical position and held on a rotary table (using only CAD). I will probably have to write the program for it later.
The picture shows a cross-section of the part…
This may be more of a pc question for the experts out there!
just put 2012 mr1 Offline on computer. The cad model will just dissapear, and reapear randomly when i zoom in and out, or rotate!
Now, I don't think it is a program error, because my…
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…
As previously stated on another thread, I'm a complete NUBE when it comes to Demis! That being said…….
One of our biggest customers came thru with a huge package of parts that are being Up Revved, over a hundred programs affected.
The actual changes…
