@na_vor Ok, then this filter in knowledgebase will not work for you. But you can possibly make a custom template, where you will check in "Data provider" which characteristic you want to show and uncheck which to hide. But i have no exp. in this - don't know if there is some limit or if it can be used in automatic run. I can change with formula what is written, but can not hide whole row.

Hi Nanno, So, it can be said that the clamping forces depend on the deformation model, isn´t it ? Thanks to the info

Only because it's a wish of a customer.

@na_vor Why? It's only for statistical purposes - for real measurement you dont use this.

Thanks for the link, but it is showing the opposite of what OP is asking - hiding .M So, how to only show .M?

Das ginge bei uns schon, ist aber unpraktikabel, weil mehrere Messtechniker gleichzeitig auf dasselbe Projekt-Archiv zugreifen und es ja keine "Checkout"-Funktion oder sowas gibt. D.h. die anderen können nicht erkennen, dass jemand ein Projekt gerade nach lokal kopiert hat, um es zu bearbeiten. Und man kann in der Hektik ja auch mal vergessen, ein Projekt nach Fertigstellung im Archiv zu aktualisieren. Die Gefahr von Wildwuchs ist da einfach zu groß.

@Nanno Muehl Danke für den Hinweis mit der ID, da habe ich leider gar nicht drüber nachgedacht. @Norbert Bendl Script als Dienst das einen warnt, wenn kein dongle drin ist vielleicht? Ich als einziger Messtechniker kopiere mir die Projekte die ich bearbeite einfach lokal, das lohnt sich immer. Geht aber bei anderen Unternehmenstrukturen eventuell nicht bzw macht keinen Sinn, wenn da noch ne Versionierung etc mitläuft.

Hi, just to keep in mind: The clamping forces with Dewarp are usually higher than in reality because the deformation model is stiffer, because of the stiffer voxel based deformation model. Nanno

Hallo, bei laufender Software funktioniert das nicht. Und bitte mit der Entitlement ID aufpassen und nicht öffentlich posten 🙂 Nanno

As @Richard Shomaker posted - you can focus on irregular pallet "LOS POS" And for those alignments: i've opened measuring program -> placed a part into nest1 -> opened alignment window ( base / start ) -> renamed as "ORIGINAL NAME-p1" and run manual alignment. Repeat for all positions. For 3 parts

In dem Fenster bin ich gestern auch schon gelandet, und mir wurden auch die Pro-Lizenzen angezeigt. Nur leider hat sich die Software nicht weiter drum gekümmert. Sprich, die Pro-Funktionen waren nach wie vor nicht verfügbar (hier konkret das Anlegen neuer Stufen beim Import von Ist-Netzen) Der Hintergrund der Frage ist, daß wir seit der Einführung neuer Sicherheitsfeatures sehr lange Ladezeiten für Projekte über die Netzwerkverbindung haben. Da wir Dongles nach Bedarf zwischen verschiedenen Rechnern tauschen, merkt man oft erst nach dem Laden eines Projekts, daß jemand den Dongle entfernt hat und die Software nur als freie Version gestartet wurde. Also Software wieder beenden, Dongle dran, neu starten, Projekt nochmal laden, doppelte Wartezeit. Das würde ich gern ändern.

Hi Martine , many thanks ,all variants work, good job 👍. I try to make a new one from actual template( see below). Have a good one

OK, so you can use existing template, just edit it, double click on text in column where you wont to show it. At the end of a text there is "show_unit = false" and change that to "true" For deviation column it's a bit tricky to find correct text

If you send the .act (here or as personal message) I can have a look into it.

I would imagine a standard Pallet Alignment would take care of this for you, but here is the Knowledge Base article for what you are looking for. https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=444321

Could you please share a photo or a sketch of your setup? I suspect the solution might be very simple.

Martin, Thank you for the answer. Is there any way you can give me a detailed account on how you stored all your part alignments? The parts we run are all over the place. One part may be super short, another bent to the right. What we're trying to achieve is a manual alignment on each part in the program before we switch to autorun (so that way the probe doesn't crash performing the base alignment on the next part). Is this still achievable?

For this we ended up with storing part alignment in all positions ( storing with name "p1", "p2", ... ) and then linking those alignments with position of pallet. Unfortunatelly this is the only way - you can not define pallete anything other than X and Y

Hello all, Imagine there are the 5 exact same parts on a pallet with the exception of their heights. Does anyone know how I would be able to take an alignment for each one so that the machine will know where to go without any input? I understand there is the "LOS position" feature in autorun, but I am unsure how to set it up. Any help will be appreciated.

Love that idea! It won't change the inputs the operator has to make but will add a timestamp to the file whenever it is saved to prevent the overwrite issue I am seeing. Thank you for this!

I second Thomas's suggestion. If you need any information on setting up the name for your output files, take a look at this KB article: https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=587888

I would set up variable file naming and probably use getRecHdForFil("time") to add a timestamp to the file name. That way it should be unique even if the same run number is used.

The documents provided by Kyle Johnson are good trouble shooting article's. If you're have trouble with the drives shutting off when moving the Z-axis on an older Duramax, I'll add that you do not have to take the 16 screws out to remove the Z axis cover to access the res-set switch on the Z drive motor. If you look closely with a flashlight, you can see the re-set switch and re-set it with a pencil or something skinny and long enough to reach it thru the vents at the top on the back side of the cover. I reset one yesterday and it's still running fine:-).

Hi all, I wanted to know if anyone has a solution for a problem I am seeing. Example: We run parts and have the PDF Files setup to autosave at the completion of a run. Say I run "Part A_Run 1" and it fails. I modify it and need to run it again, it should be "Part A_Run 2" and if so, everything works fine. What is happening is that operators aren't remembering to correctly rename the Run number so the might run another "Part A_Run 1" and it overwrites the file in the directory we have it going to without asking something like "Are you sure you want to save over this?" or "There is already something named this...blah blah" Is there a way to prevent file over-writes so that we don't have this happen? Lost a few files today because of this issue and I don't have an easy fix for it without telling the operators you really need to pay attention to the Run number to ensure you aren't repeating something already in the folder. Thanks

Hello, Saw this answered in another thread. Glad that it seems to be working for you now.
