I run a Romer 7535 arm, and have just upgraded to pc dmis 2018 R2 last week. Typically we use a free form alignment (best fit) for the contoured parts we create. The first few inspections with the new software I had no issues. It seems now though I can…
Daer all,
I am new guy for this user forum, currently I am using PC-DMIS in Camio 8.3. (Nikon Make)
Recently, I found a problem with a alignment issue for my product. It is about a alignment of [A-B I C I D-E ] of part. Please refer to attached…
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…
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've aligned my cad model to my physical part but I need it to be in car position. Right now my origin is at an intersection between plane, line, and point. How do I get my origin (ucs) to be the same as my print??
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!

Basically, I have a cylindrical part in a rotary table. I take a few hits with a touch probe to align, and make some measurements for some notches.
After…

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…
Can someone please help me figure out the best way to set up an alignment with only 2 datums? The print I am working off only has a datum A plane and a datum b diameter and is wanting some gd&t position information just using A & B instead of the A, B…
So im working on this part, and im trying to use the level rotate and origin alignment. I understand which vectors to level to and rotate too. However the machine isnt correctly reading where the part is after i allign it. Am i supposed to find the origin…
Got an interesting one for you guys!

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 could use some help to determine the validity of my alignment for checking a clevis in a fixture. I have a picture of the clevis mounted in the fixture attached to this post. The three work planes that can be seen in the picture are Z+, X- (clamped…
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…
Hello,
this is my first post and I just have a basic experience with CMM's and PC-DMIS. I am having a hard time figuring out how to align a core pin (see picture below). I have the .IGS model uploaded and I tried to align the part using a cone and…
Hey guys,
I've been trying to align to this part for the better part of today and I'm coming up with nothing.
Best fits using anywhere from 6 to 19 points end up with T values varying upwards of .100" across the side edges (the critical feature…
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.

I have taken the basic 1 week PCDMIS course from Hexagon.
Currently I have only modified part programs written by the programmer at our parent company location to run on our cmms.
I work with version 3.7 on cmm 2 and 2014 on cmm 3.
Cmm 1 has…
Opinion needed:
Was wondering if it was possible for one of these holes (dat-c-) to give good t.p readings. Since the parts is symmetrical all 3 holes should be used with dat-a- for an alignment (a-c in feature control frame). So it would be possible…

When changing or adding an alignment the update dependant commands prompt is NOT appearing. This is on both the CMM and the offline station

Hello All,
I have a cylindrical part that has 6 identical milled pockets clocked 60 degrees along the length of the part. Three pockets (making one set) is milled 6" from the end of the part 120 degrees apart at (12/4/8 o'clock). Another three pockets…
Hey guys. I'm trying to do an iterative alignment on a fixture but I'm hitting a speed bump and I'm not sure whats causing it. The points for the manual alignment are identical to the automatic alignment and share all the same properties. The manual alignment…
