This scenario doesnt happen often here, maybe once a year. Once i have IT load the backup copy it has always resolved itself. I dont know how they get corrupt but it happens.

It could possibly be the thing that is preventing you from loading it. I'd make a copy of the program on the desktop or something, then delete the temp file. If it doesn't work, you still have the original file to troubleshoot.

Richard, Thanks for the response. I am at a loss as this issue has not come up before. I think I have attached pictures my files. One is REV 10 version of the program, which loads fine, the other is the REV 11 version that won't load. I did notice that on the REV 11 file, there is a folder titled "TEMP" and that is the one that won't load. In the TEMP folder is a sub-folder titled "GEOACTUALS". I'm not sure if that is the issue or not. We store our programs on our network that is backed up every day. I might get with our IT department and see if they can load the program from a couple days ago. Loads Properly.pdf Measurement Plan Could Not Be Loaded.pdf

Check the contents of the offending folder compared to a folder where the program does load. Compare file names and see if some files are missing. Do you not have back ups? As a note, all of my files reside on a server, these are copied to the local drive to run. This way you should never lose the original program integrity.

We are trying to load a proven measurement plan, and we get the message "Measurement Plan Could Not Be Loaded." This is the first time that I have gotten this message, and I am confused by it. I have a couple other programs for this part that load just fine. Does anyone know how to fix this, other than rewriting the program? It's a rather complicated program to re-write, but if that's what we have to do, we will. All help is appreciated.

I used the one under special geometry. I understand I could also use theoretical circles.

Hello Arda, are you interested in the deviation of the normals of the actual surface to the nominal surface? This function might help in this case: Create Draft Angle Map If you are interested in the defects, you can create a surface defect map and then create surface defects: 1. Create Surface Defect Map 2. Create Surface Defect Element

try to convert it in .sat with an other application before open it with calypso.

I have tried several different .dxf files, and I cannot get any of them to open in Calypso. I followed the steps of importing the cad file, but I get an error message every time (see below). Any help would be great.

Does Exchange row template need to be checked as well? side note, whenever I add cad presentations, my cad model becomes glitchy and rotating/moving the view isn't smooth.

Yes, that is what i have been doing for so long is going into View and Multiple report and bring it back up. My bad, i was thinking you were talking about reloading the whole PiWeb report, like the Standard Protocol one that i am using currently. This is why the frustration has set in having to go in and reload the Multiple Report again.

I have been doing this for nearly two decades. I create the Base Alignment from the tooling balls. Add a Prompt to load part after that completes. The remainder of the program runs from a separate alignment, not the Base Alignment. Which works well for me because I never use the Base Alignment for any reportable requirements. All Features/Characteristics are tied at minimum to the separate alignment (I call it the CNC Alignment).

Hello, I have mesh/CAD comparison of a certain part. In this deviation analysis I can clearly see the deviating areas but what I am trying to do is to mark deviation where we have a sharp angle deviation from the surface. Does anyone know if this is possible? You can see in the image where we have this deviation but I don't know if this is sharp enough or not. Any tool that would give me that measure?

If you are able to create CAD Presentations, have you turned on the "Display plots in report"? Resources Character settings Editor Display plots in report Then you select any characteristic that has a CAD Presentation.

Ich verstehe sowieso ganz allgemein betrachtet nicht die Motivation hinter den modernen Farbschemata in aller möglichen Software. Das muss so ein albernes Lifestyle-Dings sein, dem man Lesbarkeit, Ergomnomie und wasweissich alles opfert, nur um "cool" und "futuristisch" auszusehen. Da würde ich noch lieber mit dem Mickymaus-Design der 90er-Jahre arbeiten. Was ich aber noch schlimmer finde als so ein Design zum Standard zu machen, ist die konsequente Beschneidung der Fähigkeit des Anwenders, dieses zu verändern. Früher waren Farbeinsteller allgemeiner Standard und das war sehr gut so. Heute bekommt man nur noch die feste Auswahl zwischen, Pest, Ruhr und Cholera. Warum?

In the top menu select View Then select Multiple Report This will regenerate the PiWeb report. One thing to remember, if you have opened any characteristics, the regenerated report will only reflect the characteristics viewed. If that happens, you have to cycle thru all characteristics, re-run the part with "Clear existing results" turned off.

Calypso_basic_ISO 5459 Section.pdf good questions about best practices, for me I use inscribe and circonscribe only to have diameters values, for GD&T and datum I use Gauss wich is more stable (even with ISO I should use tangentiel for datum). LEAST SQUARES DATUM DEFINITION.pdf the least squares datum definition article explain some behaviors of the differents methodes (even it give me a headache, it's realy interesting)

I tried this and if i dont use ALT-TAB right away and bring it up after it disappears. Then it is no longer there. Thank you for the information to try. I am drawing a blank on how to reload multi report? When you reload it does it stay up on the screen. How long after that do you have to reload multi report again because it keeps going away? It's frustrating for sure, i guess i am to the point of wanting to make it stop because i have been working with this for 2 years now. Thank you for the information to try out.

OK so if you can not scan hole as a cylinder, then you have to use that small plane at that hole for rotation. |Perpendicularity | 0.01 | A-B | C><| |TP | 0.01 | A-B | C><| Parallelism - that's odd

I have just recently discovered from ZEISS Inspect software due strange behaviour. According to ASME and ISO - datums are always as tangential element and elements used for axis are always perpendicular to previously defined element. At least that's how i interpret it now.

If you set up Smart Services you can view utilization and see the breakdown of how long the machine was in and out of cycle with times....Zeiss offers a free version with a limited history and a purchased version with longer storage times. It also allows you to see collision speeds/detection for each CMM

David, We use CNC information in similar way. To display the set-up picture we use irfanview which make it easy to aligned size, position, no frame, no buttons... To remove the displayed picture automatically I add a small script to C:\Users\Public\Documents\ZEISS\CALYPSO\workarea\inspections called "inspection_start.bat" --> See CALYPSO documentation This will kill ALL irfanview process just if the user press the START button. O.K. this is a real hard-kill option. Better will be to identify MY irfanview process but I´m sorry: Windows has the most dreadful Process ID management system I can imagine. I’m not wasting my time on it. inspection_start.bat

Hi Damian, Deviation measures have specific behaviour. For Min and Max deviation measures the tolerances can not be set. The values are taken from the segments they are analyzed on. It is only possible to set tolerances for average, range and profile error deviation measures. This information can be found on the manual (F1) Hope this helps

Kleines Update, ich verwende Calypso 2025 und Martin sein Code funktioniert prima. Ich habe keine PCM Lizenz.

Hallo Jörg, bilde ein Koordinatensystem mit 6°. Setze deinen Antastpunkt in diesem Koordinatensystem auf die Fläche. Jetzt sollte der Vektor senkrecht zur Fläche sein. Gruß Wolfgang
