Hello, all!
(I'm ignorant. Tear me apart!)
This is the first time I've come across this type of call out. I understand a bit about how it works, but need help with the execution.
Could someone, please, walk me through the general steps I'd take…
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…
Hello, This is my cad model and coordinate system when I import it into pcdmis. My actual part is on CMM is placed as on the picture down left. How do I transform coordinate system to other point on my CAD model? How do I align it with my actual part…
The last company I worked for would make create trace field commands to require inputs from an operator to be displayed in the report to actual custom file header template. It is a little tricky for me to navigate the label template header. I haven't…
The first job I programmed CMMs at it seems that when I inserted move points in my program that it worked great and exactly like I wanted it to. I could create move points in my programs OFFLINE and they would move to the exact coordinates relative to…
On a recent Hexagon service visit, the field engineer noticed in the setting editor that our “ContinousTempSensor” was turned off.
He explained that it continuously samples the temperature throughout the routine, but wasn’t able to dive deeper. We are…
hi everyone.
I will create a loop program for nesting jobs. I've completed the program, but I can't edit any features, which means if 2, 3, and 5 job holes are deviated, I can't adjust them. I've tried to edit the features, but the probe keeps returning…
It's not available under my graphic Items and this would be helpful for visualizing TIP angles in offline mode to check for clearance. I have a HH-AS8-T2.5
I'm interested in learning about Model-Based Definition. I would like to try and insert a CAD model with machine readable MBD made in like SolidWorks or Creo to PC-DMIS. Any discussion about MBD and your experiences are welcomed.
Hey all,
A program begins with a basic alignment and then a DCC alignment. When the program starts it asks what op you're checking, 1, 2, or 3 for example. Depending on what you select the program should construct your alignments and then move on to…
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…
Good Day!
I have problem with defining the database "E" like on picture below (marked on blue).
(pic. 1) (section H (circle on pic. 1))
Below photo from PC-DMIS CAD
My question is if I should make database "E" as constructed plane? All points…
I don't know much at all about expressions, labels, etc. I've been working the past few hours trying to make a command that will end my program if a particular dimension is out of spec. All I want is a code that #1) checks that dimension, #2) has a comment…
Good afternoon,
I am working on a part that requires a theoretical distance from the bottom of a gage ball resting in a tapered cylinder to a datum plane. I have constructed the sphere with the proper diameter and in PC-Dmis, it looks to be in the…
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…
Good afternoon all,
I am trying to set up a quick program to measure a true position call out for a part we are running at the shop. it is a small bushing and the TP call out is the O.D. cylinder to the I.D. cylinder (datum A) and a perpendicular…
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…
I’m still very new to PC-DMIS and programming in general so I have no idea what the options are for my question:
Can you program offline using the Online Seat of PC-DMIS (Version 2022.1) if there is NO air supplied to the CMM? We only have the Online…
There's a weird sort of bug, at least up to version 2020R2, that propagates the setting "Print Background Colors". I know you can change this by hitting F5, but the situation is slightly more complicated. I will provide an example:
Lets say you have…
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 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
Is it possible to update
Nominals & Tol . same for some selected features according to my drawing ?
I don't have any
CAD model , and I need to call dimensions for
100 position dimensions.
I'm using
Legacy Mode , for that reason I need…
