I have an issue that I have been trying to understand for a while now. I write all my pc-dmis programs on an offline seat in Pc Dmis 2017R2. I work off of models made by our engineers. I make up the programs then I back save them to our online Pc-dmis…
Hi All,
Probably I am the newest member of this community.
I just finished my CMM training last week. So i am very new to this job.
I need to check a part as described in the title but the problem is when i do manual alignment all goes fine but…
Hi all, I am new to PC-DMIS (2021R1 CAD++) and have been working on trying to configure a measurement for a couple weeks now. I do apologize for my terminology ahead of time. This forum has helped tremendously with the other measurements for this part…
Hello everyone!
last week i came across an issue in which first hole was mismarked during production.
The part was similar to attached image with two set of holes 1st set has 30 holes and 2nd has 59, in which 1st hole of both set are inline with each…
Genius' of the PCDMIS Forum, good morning and I present to you another aggravating problem that landed on my desk.
I have a unique situation. Our forming branch needs a program made for a window trim, assumed it'd be easy enough as its just reporting…
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.

Forgive my ignorance. i just finished up cmm 101 and have not been using a cmm for quite some time. attached is a photo of what i am trying to measure. A and C are planes and B and D can be circles or cylinders I am trying to get this aligned so i can…
The length of the part is outside the measurement range of the equipment.
So, during the software measurement, the parts are moved, the reference axis is moved, and the remaining parts are taken.
I want to find the difference between A1 and A2 when…
Need help!! Not sure why PC-DMIS keeps giving me bad results. I have created different alignments, different hits, different workplanes and views but PC-DMIS still gives me wrong numbers. Any suggestions on what is going on?
On the blueprint I have…
Hi,
i am trying to inspect TP of a point considering only PA (angular variation),
while generating output I'm getting same value wile when considering both PA & PA.
can someone please guide me what's going wrong and how i can generate TP with PA…
Roughly determining the ID thread clocking to locate the thread start for maximum surface area for lead in chamfer diameter measurement. Basically, measuring the countersink of at most 1/3 the circumference of an internal thread entrance. I need to know…
Hello all, I'm back.
The organization I'm at currently likes to run multiple parts in programs using "Paste with Pattern". I'm writing a program that measures 4 parts, and I would like it to print 4 clean reports. If I use 4 "PRINT/REPORT" commands…
Dear sir,
I have a part having datum A as plane, Datum B&Datum C as circle but the Datum B is with an angle to Datum A, it is not perpendicular to Datum A so when i going to call the position of some circles wrt ABC then a message show as secondary…
Hi Everyone!
I am working with a forge part with no datum structure. It is calling for a profile of .120 u .09 to itself. (+.09/-.03).
My though is that the simplest way to approach this is with an iterative alignment (machine to part),…
Hello everyone! I am having trouble trying to figure out how to align and dimension this part. I am programming offline to a supplied CAD model from the customer (I can't upload the file but I took screenshots of what the part looks like). The only dimensions…
Hi everyone !
1.What am i doing wrong? the readpoint wont move or even touch the part when i put the probe where i like to start.
the cad model was provided with the trihedron located where is shown in the picture. i also try putting a point where…
Every time I search these forums for any information regarding this new software I am met with no information as it seems no one is using this software. Is it irrelevant for experienced CMM Programmers/Users or is it just a problematic software (like…
Good Morning! I'm new to using CAD models. I only used them in class. I created a manual plane, line, point alignment to make the model aligned with the machine. The problem I'm having is when I change my alignment or workplane, my points are no longer…
Good evening everyone!
I’m extremely new to CMMs, GD&T, and pretty much anything to do with this whole world. (>4 months) My employer found themselves in a tight spot when our old CMM Operator/Programmer left for another company. The previous employee…
Hi All,
I've worked with subroutines a bit before, but so far mostly to put math stuff in one place out of the main program. Today I'm working on writing an external subroutine to measure a threaded hole using something like this: <

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…
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…
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'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…
Having troubles with assigning the rotate to a program I'm working on. The part in question is roughly a vertical rectangle. The mating face is my z level and origin. In the top center of mating face is a dowel pin hole that is x and y origin and there…
