  • Help with gauge dimension

    Hi, I have attached a rough sketch in this need to inspect thickness of a circular disk at Dia. 11.5 (5.75 from center of the part) i'm unable to probe at exact position due to high slope. i also tried to construct points by creating scans at R…

  • Barrier needed

    Not really sure where to exactly i should've posted this but its here now. I am recently new to CMM so im still learning alot. That being said I have a slight issue with something im trying to do with my CMM I am trying to do an adaptive circle scan on…

  • Q/C Inspector needed to run B&S Mistral CMM w/ PC-DMIS

    Looking for Q/C Inspector to run B&S Mistral CMM w/ PC-DMIS, Located in Beverly, Massachusetts

  • Assigning/Extracting Measured Positions (XACT)

    Where I work I very frequently have position dimensions called out in sets. When the DRF is not fully constrained, or when there are MMB modifiers on datums, its critical to call the holes out as sets so any Datum Shift is the same for all the holes in…

  • Flow Control Using Yes/No Issue

    I'm using a series of Yes/No Questions to dictate what is measured and reported vs what is not. My 1st question is essentially "Are all features being measured": If yes, it skips the following questions. The issue is however that when it skips the following…

  • Clear Plane Leaving Z Axis Limits

    The clear planes in my program do not want to co-operate today. I'm using a read point for the manual alignment, as far as I can see I did not forget to translate my Z. DCC_ORG Is a circle that takes 3 sample hits on the Z=0 surface I want. The clearplane…

  • 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…

  • Adding Probe Angles AFTER Calibration Sphere has been moved

    Good morning everyone, After searching the forum (seems using google to do it gets better results!), I can't find a clear answer to this question that has been asked many times : After calibrating A0B0, and additional angles - If I move the…

  • Crazy Diameter (math error)

    Edit: reducing the hits to 3 INCREASED the accuracy of my measurements. Special thanks to UKCMM! So I was measuring a cylinder and I got some pretty crazy results (See the diameter). Trying to figure out why this happened beyond some good ol…

  • Script icon question

    I’ve been playing around with scripting and created one to change the number of hits used in all auto circle features . It worked great when you run it through the script editor . The problem I ran into was when I tried to create an icon on my toolbar…

  • Printing reports In Patterned Program

    I've got a part here that requires hundreds of inspections, so we created a fixture to run 15 of the parts in one execution so i'm not required to come back to the CMM every few minutes. I've hit a wall though where I need my reports to print per part…

  • how to increase speed?

    Hi All I use PC-DMIS CAD++ 2019 R1 on B&S 5.7.5, its absolute speed is 700 (this is what I see when I open F5 ). Most of our programs run with speed 200-300mm/s. I changed it to 500 in program edit window but didn't see any difference. I searched…

  • Dimension to midpoint of radius, not the centerpoint

    Hello everyone. I am having trouble trying to dimension to the midpoint of this radius callout, rather than the center. In the drawing, shown below, there is the .244 dimension from the centerline of the 45° BSC angle to the midpoint of the radius. I…

  • True position of a datum slot

    Good Morning! I have this part (shown below) that calls out a slot as the tertiary datum and I am having trouble trying to get the true position to show the MMC to .0002 for the callout for -D-. I am measuring it by taking 1 hit on each side of the slot…

  • Plane line point vs plane plane plane

    Hello everyone, I am aligning and programming utilizing a J-corner fixture. In my experience i have been told that aligning to plane plane plane would be ideal for several reasons. My colleague believes that a plane line point is better. I do not…

  • True Position MMC Callout

    Good Morning! I am still very new to PC-DMIS and I am having trouble with the Xact measurement of a true position callout for a feature. The callout for the hole should read TP/ Ø.005 @ MMC/ A @ MMC but when I try to dimension it, it does not allow me…

  • Dimension to Intersection Point and Dimension Angles

    Hello! I am having trouble trying to dimension to an intersection point created by two constructed best fit lines. The dimensions (.150 and .250) are not measuring at nominal even though it is programmed off the CAD model. I made the constructed lines…

  • Symmetry of Slots in Reference to ID Cylinder

    Good morning! I am very green to PC-DMIS and I need help. I have a part that has an ID -A- and ribs on the outside with slots cut into them. The width of the slots must be symmetrical to -A- within .010. I picked 1 point on each side of the slot and measured…

  • Measure Max+ in 2019?

    Hello, Does anyone still use MMax+ ? I work for a company that still uses older software and CMMs. Trying to find information on this and so far unsuccessful. If anyone has !Any! information that they feel would be useful that would be appreciated!

  • Problem accessing CadModel.CADProjectPoint from Basic Script

    Trying to access the my Cad model in the Graphics Display Window using a PC-DMIS basic script. Getting a "Missing parameter(s)" error message. Here's what I have with the error being generated on the last line seen below; '================== Sub…

  • Not able to add Move Points into code or by shortcut keys

    I am unaware of any option in the settings to turn off move points. I have tried Cntrl+M typing in move/ and hitting the move point button on the jog box. I have also been trying to make a clearance plane and I cannot add move/clearplane either. Does…

  • Dimentioning Depth of a part

    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…

  • Out of Stroke Limit

    Hello, I'm pretty new to PC-DMIS and CMM programming in general. I've been working with it for a few months now. My problem is this. I keep getting an out of stroke error when switching to DCC alignment and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The machine…

  • Different machines same program TXT

    Hello, I have a problem with exporting to txt file. At our company we just get a new machine so now we have three of them. On all of them we measure with same programs. So the problem is now we would like to include in txt file on which machine…

  • circle constr from points in loop doesn't change dimension when measured with label

    I have gauge with 2 different diameters inside – bowtie shape. Smaller dia I measure with no problems, for larger I created 2 loops, 12 points each. I even managed to construct circle and measure it (you guys helped me a few weeks ago to do this). Because…
