  • 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…

  • Deviation between 2 diameters

    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…

  • Scanning Outline

    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…

  • Datum Definition

    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?

  • Scanning Report

    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…

  • Dimensioning with Variables

    Hello! PC-DMIS 2013 MR1, Optiv Perf. 443 ------------------------------------------------- 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…

  • Print Command using Variables

    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…

  • Line Angle to Feature

    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…

  • Xact measure

    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…

    Hi guys, How to export generic (.txt file) with date and timestamp at inside the .txt file? (File -> export -> Generic)

  • Multiple queries for datapage transactions.

    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…

  • understanding unequal tolerance reporting

    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…

  • CSV Excel output of Comments

    I would like a comment to show up on my csv excel output report, but cant seem to figure out how. I have tried selecting different options, but have not had any luck so far. Is there a specific combination of options i need to have selected? or is it…

  • Reporting a diameter using 2 different fitting algorithms

    I would like to know how to measure a feature once, in my case a cylinder, and then report the diameter in both least squares and min inscribed. Does someone know how to do that? The only way I can think to do it now is to create 2 different cylinder…

  • Alternative way on Report

    Guys, I've just started to use PC-DMIS for CMMs, weeks ago. I need help on the reporting format, especially on the parts that require many measurements. As I'll be measuring all dimensions, based on drawing. Reporting with PC-DMIS can be tedious…

  • VBScript for reports

    Hello everyone, I got a problem.. When the measurement ends I want to save report to specific location, depending on where the part was made (we have same part, but we make it on 2 machines).. I am using PRINT command, but it sometimes saves blank…

  • Program/Report the SMALLEST diameter from mulitple measured diameters

    I have a diameter that is very slightly tapered but is square within CAD. From the top surface, I measure the diameter every 0.5mm measuring about 10 cirles in all. Im trying to figure out how to report ONLY the smallest diameter and not all 10 diameters…

  • Show File name in Report Header

    Hi Im new in PC-DMIS world (4.3 mr1, winxp:livid I create my personal label(fileheader.lbl) and i want show in program name(only xyz.PRG, not a full path). I dont want use macro or program variable etc... only xyz.lbl My problem is: look at…

    Is anyone using the new Hexagon qflash White Light Scan systems? I am looking for some user feedback regarding accuracy, issues, reporting, bugs etc. I have used a Steinbichler scanner with Polyworks, and also a Romer with Polyworks and I am wondering…

  • Export EXCEL/CSV from print commad only reporting first hit from Surface Profile

    So I have a program that inspects the hubs of a blisk. I use a loop (LOOP/START, LOOP/END type) to do each cavity, creating 90 vector points per hub, which I use to make a constructed scan and feed that into a surface profile. Have a print command at…

  • qFlash reporting options

    Good morning, I recently attended a demo of the Hexagon WLS qFlash system. I am looking for some feeedback on reporting options. I did not see any customized reporting like pc-dmis, but rather it reported in alphabetical order. Not much info is…

  • Removing or adjusting Datum references in True position reports

    I'm currently trying to measure a series of holes for true position. However, when I generate the report, EVERY entry includes three measurements. there's the feature (ex. circle 1) but then it also has entries for datums too. The datum entries all have…

  • Quindos Gear - sample inspection reports?

    Hello, I have not been able to track this down in any hexagon literature (with exception to the rather dated report from 1995). I need to see a couple of sample gear reports from Quindos Gear (version 7 if possible). I am assuming they are highly…

  • Report reading for enigneers

    Today the engineers are bothering me asking me how they can know what direction on the part the hole is out of tolerance. Like shown in the attachment. They like focusing on the graphical depiction of the out of tolerance. To be honest i'm not really…
