    Need to calculate these from a set of 8 results [Spacing error not to exceed 0.005, spacing between adjacent slot 0.003, 1 place may be 0.005 max] I am using following code to calculate spacing error within 0.005, but I'm not sure how to find "…
  • Live probe graphic completely wrong

    Occasionally, when I start a new program offline, the simulated probe graphic location will get messed up and be completely offset from the simulated points that it is taking. Graphically, the probe will be be performing its motions out in space many…

    I am trying to create a program without model and required to create a plane at an angle (x=0.3334° , y=0.0° & z= 14.538°) is there any way to calculate i, j, k value for the same?
  • Iterative Alignment

    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),…
  • How to align/dimension this 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…

    Hello All! I am still green to PC-DMIS and I am trying to define a new disc probe, Renishaw P/N A-5555-0298 4mm disc probe, but I am unsure on how to do so. I read that the probe wizard will do this but I was wondering if there was an easier way to download…
  • 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…
