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…
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.

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…

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…
