Where I work I very frequently have position dimensions called out in sets. When the DRF is not fully constrained, or when there are MMB modifiers on datums, its critical to call the holes out as sets so any Datum Shift is the same for all the holes in…
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…
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…
Looking for help please!!!
I have been tasked with implementing an SPC process on a group of parts.
I was thinking of creating a "KC program" in which I have 4 of the same part located on a fixture.
The issue I have is I want to be able to…
I recently ran into an issue when reviewing reports that shows the following for a true position measurement in a CAD view:
I did some digging on both of our CMM stations thinking that one of them may have an oddball setting or a corrupt font…
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…
I hope there is a simple solution for this. I tried searching the forum but found nothing related.
Here is my scenario:
The CMM operator runs the part and there are various errors. Some of them look like errors in programming. I take the PRG file…
Hello folks,
I am being tasked with a task for an R&R on our CMM, and though it seems simple enough, I realize there are several ways that are possible to structure the tests. I wanted to get some input about methods and see if it makes for a better…
Hello All,
We would like to be able to compile a database of measurements for a specific parameter or set of parameters that our programme records. Currently the results exist in their singular results files within PC-DMIS. I expect there is a way…
Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I can't locate it if it has.
My company is getting a new CMM, but did not order DataPage for it.
Can PC-Dmis export to datapage without having Datapage installed on that specific pc?
For example, CMM2…
When reporting a true position, should the Feature MMC bonus and Datum LMC bonus be added together, to give a an overall bonus.
Pc-Dmis defaults to adding the bonuses. Is this correct ?
The drawing call out = TP | (DIAMETRIC) 0.004 (MMC) | DATUM…
Hello,
I have a problem with exporting to txt file.
At our company we just get a new machine so now we have three of them. On all of them we measure with same programs.
So the problem is now we would like to include in txt file on which machine…
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…
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…
I have a toolmaker wanting to know a tube thickness by measuring an ID and an OD at the same depth however I've never reported this kind of dimension before. Is there a way to report the deviation between these 2 diameters so I can report the part thickness…
Hello,
Can anyone help me understand why after I preform a scan my scanning outline has a couple of spots where the line deviates to the inside or the outside and is not consistent all the way around the part? I'm attaching a picture below with the…
Is this important?
I would imagine so, considering all the parts have datums, but what is the difference from, say, setting a point as Datum A and dimensioning a feature to Datum A, and setting a point and dimensioning a feature to said point?
I'm trying to create a scanning report that one of our engineers is looking for. I'm attaching a picture but what they want to see is an outline of the low tolerance of a profile, an outline of the max outline of a profile and an outline of where the…

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…
Good Morning users.
I have reviewed other posts but cannot seem to get this to work.
I want to take an input variable and use it to save as a filename to save as a file.
I seem to have assigned the variable to the file path ok. A file is created…
Hello all!
I have a cylindrical part mounted on a rotary table.
The print calls out 4 different angles on 4 subsequent sets of notches (each set of 4 having a different angle).
To measure the angles, I create an alignment, rotating the axis by the…
We have only just started using xact measure for reporting and I confused on something I'm seeing and I don't know the answer for. On the attached screenshot
-C- appears to be out of position (even though the position for -C- is in tolerance when I…
Alright so I am trying to set up some tracking a new part launch that we have. I have 7 machines running this part so I would like to set it up so that I can really narrow down the data and keep track of each one. Now I have figured out how to properly…
I have a profile with only a negative tolerance. How is my measured value positive, but the part is checking outtol=0. is the meas on the report an absolute value? I am exporting everything to measurlink and it is having trouble with the negative tolerance…
