  • Diametric clearance and GD&T default measurements

    Hello PC-DMIS forum, I have a question regarding Diametric clearance and how measuring a diameter with GD&T DEFUALT changes the measurement. we are machining 2 pieces for a welded ring the inner ring must fit into the outer ring. the tolerance…
  • Different readings between Location and GD&T

    Hello all, I am having a strange occurrence happening when I go to do my measurements and I was curious if it was something I was doing, something PC-DMIS is doing, or if I am just misunderstanding how GD&T effects measurements. I am doing a cylinder…
  • Touch Trigger probes on a scanning head

    Hello all, I am a new programmer who is helping build up my companies probe stock. We have an old touch trigger CMM that uses 2m threads and we have just bought a new 7,10,7 with a scanning head which uses a 3m thread. Looking through Hexagons…
  • Calculation of deviation when texture is on flateness

    I have aligned one part and pln-1 in Y axis origin, after pln measurement when i report flatness of pln-1 with texture on options the meas value of y axis points does not match to the deviation. Could you please explain me the are different from each…
  • Printing reports In Patterned Program

    I've got a part here that requires hundreds of inspections, so we created a fixture to run 15 of the parts in one execution so i'm not required to come back to the CMM every few minutes. I've hit a wall though where I need my reports to print per part…
  • GD&T Settings Resetting to Default After Execution (True Position)

    All of my FAIRs and FIRs are bubbled such that the True Position and Size are two different bubbles and require two different labeled dimensional readouts on my reports; thus, I make separate dimensions for size (diameter in this case) and true position…
  • labels won't sjow up on model

    Hi My question is i always make a custom report with dimension labels showing deviation on cad model in report. To do that i mark my program then select the dimensions i took for that particular view- cut and undo them and they show up on CAD model…
  • circle constr from points in loop doesn't change dimension when measured with label

    I have gauge with 2 different diameters inside – bowtie shape. Smaller dia I measure with no problems, for larger I created 2 loops, 12 points each. I even managed to construct circle and measure it (you guys helped me a few weeks ago to do this). Because…
  • Code to mark/unmark out of tolerance dimensions

    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…
