I work in a facility where we make transmission insulators for power lines. We have to measure what they call leakage per customer drawing. We recently purchased a CMM machine and now EVERYONE wants EVERYTHING checked on it. Of course it's a new toy I…
dear all,
I am new guy for PCDMIS, currently I am using PC-DMIS rev 4.3 and 2012.
recently, I found a problem with a program for my product. it is about a true position of a circle, please refer to attached photo for details.
a circle which is…
Good Morning All
I have punch with gear inside (35 teeth to make math easier) and I need to measure larger diameter.I made loop which takes points between teeth but i have no idea how to construct circle. CMM takes points, I can see them on CAD model…
I am trying to figure out a way to automatically mark or unmark feature dimensions that are out of tolerance.
I have a program that includes some if/then statements where it re-measures a diameter at a different depth if the first one is OOT.
So my…
I've got 2 parts, mirrored in Y, on one fixture. The fixture has 3 tooling balls, each with 2 sets of coordinates, one set for each part. Is there a way for me to write both parts into one program without having to pick up the tooling balls more than…
Hello. I have been working as a Fabrication Inspector for several years now. Of our five-person inspection team, I do 95% of the CMM programming, which I thoroughly enjoy. My inspection job has been rewarding, but I want to make a change.

I Have trouble when showing True Position on FCF,
There is some information i want to hide or delete, that is location on Datum which shown in Position tab, that information come when i add secondary and tertiery datum with MMC or LMC on True Position…
Is this important?
I would imagine so, considering all the parts have datums, but what is the difference from, say, setting a point as Datum A and dimensioning a feature to Datum A, and setting a point and dimensioning a feature to said point?

It doesn't work!
I haven't touched this offline license before. I always program online, on-machine. But I recently found out we just had…
Hello all!
I have a cylindrical part mounted on a rotary table.
The print calls out 4 different angles on 4 subsequent sets of notches (each set of 4 having a different angle).
To measure the angles, I create an alignment, rotating the axis by the…
Hello everyone, I’m using body axis scan to create 3D lines then intersect the lines. One line horizontal and the other roughly vertical.
My concern is the lines are not where I expect they would be.
For example I set a body axis scan for Z-6.000…
I started programming an Optiv Performance 443 running PC-DMIS 2013 Mr1 in April of 2017.
I have a program that checks the location of 4 1mm holes on a round part, two sets that are 20mm and 180° apart. Sometimes these parts have burrs, and I
know…
We recently switched from 2013 PC-DMIS TO 2017 R1 and have lost the calibration sphere data. I'm just an operator and have no idea where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction or at least tell me what we have.
Thanks,
Attached…
Hello everyone,
I got a problem.. When the measurement ends I want to save report to specific location, depending on where the part was made (we have same part, but we make it on 2 machines)..
I am using PRINT command, but it sometimes saves blank…
I have a diameter that is very slightly tapered but is square within CAD. From the top surface, I measure the diameter every 0.5mm measuring about 10 cirles in all.
Im trying to figure out how to report ONLY the smallest diameter and not all 10 diameters…
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".
