The PCM reference says .length is for curve length. I haven't played around with it but it does return the same value as the formal curve length characteristic.

Thanks Richard. Have a .5mm probe but ended up cutting the part down to get the probe to reach. And slowed the CMM down. Lines are a lot straighter than before, notice there is quite a bit of pitting or chipping on the splines as well. I'm sure thats not helping much. Thanks again. Lou

Also looks like .width could be valid too.

From Eric Moberg's Mimir program. I'm not sure the difference between len and length is.

I believe it would be .len1 & .len2

Hi Martin, You can recall the feature points of a curve into a circle or any other feature. Insert a circle, go to recall feature points, right click on the curve and select open. From there you can use the tools in the dialogue box to select the points you want. You can select by number, range, and there are also selection tools that become available like a box to window around the points you want to select. The box tool shows up on the toolbar at the top when the dialogue opens.

Hello! The solution mentioned here is the most common resolution for that error, but I also wanted to put this link here, as well, in case anyone ever comes across this error and the above does not resolve it. There are a few more things to try listed here: https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=1596796

I was introduced to these by my mentor back in 2000. It's a feel type, i have used the same way he showed me since. I haven't had any problems with any stripping out on me or too loose. My calibrations have all been good too after changing. I guess i have been lucky with this.

@AGH1977 How do you set the torque on these babies?

1mm styli is too large for an internal spline of this size. You should either use a 0.3mm or 0.5mm given the available tooth length is only 0.05" (1.3mm). In addition, speed is also a factor - short splines require you to go much slower (especially on the involute/profile).

Howdy, I'm trying to get a cad view image of a profile and it doesn't appear on my report. just a white screen. no error msgs or anything like that. Any help would be appreciated

Hello everyone, I am having an issue with the profile traces on splines I am inspecting. They look horrible but the lead traces seem to look fine. Believe I ran into this before but can't remember how I remedied this. Included the gearing data and I am also using a 1mm probe. I am evaluating all 11 teeth not just 4. Not sure if that is something that needs to change or not. I am sure I left some details out that could help. Thanks for any assistance. Lou

Hallo, der Fehler weist darauf hin, dass der sogenannte 'Actual Master' "leer" ist, d.h. dass die Polygonisierung nicht vorhanden ist oder dass sie keine Punkte enthält oder dass ihr Netz nicht als 'Actual Master' deklariert ist. Die Deklarierung geschieht normalerweise automatisch während des Programmlaufes sofern sie die korrekte Lizenz haben. Sollte ihre Polygonisierung vorhanden sein und Punkte enthalten, ist die Analyse ihres Projektes durch den professionellen Support nötig. Mögliche Fehlerursachen könnten sein: Ein anderes Netz ist noch 'Actual Master' oder ihnen fehlt die korrekte Lizenz (Professional), um diese Operation korrekt auszuführen. Diese Ursachen können nur durch den professionellen Support beantwortet werden. MfG, Bernd Alpers

Thanks, i will give this a try.

Try .width

Is this what you are asking about? If so i get these at Q-mark.

Hi, sounds like something useful and easy to implement. You can make suggestions like this here: https://portal.zeiss.com/my-voice/software/metrology

I know "len" and "length" are valid for the Length 1 property of a plane, but can't seem to find the attribute for Length 2. (what is the difference between len and length? Seems odd to have 2 attributes with the same result.

@admin Can you please forward internal so we can get information if this will land to Calypso 2026?

@all - you know which button to press -> https://portal.zeiss.com/my-voice/software/metrology/product/8169f75e-fc4d-4198-af18-2378070110f1/request/616ad131-65a3-4ecb-934b-6bff947b28f1 Let me know if I should duplicate the idea to another section.

Hi everyone, Just adding a short follow-up after some additional thought about this use case. For manual ATOS Q setups, especially when changing lenses frequently, an optional audio indication during calibration could reduce the need to constantly shift attention between the scanner, the calibration board, and the software screen. I would be interested to know whether other users working manually see the same value in this kind of feature, and whether there is an official ZEISS channel for submitting software usability suggestions or feature requests. Thank you.

Hallo Ihr Zwei, gibt es hierfür auch die Möglichkeit das Maschinenübergreifend auf Laufwerke zu legen oder am Besten direkt im Ordner vom Prüfplan ?. Habe bei uns im Werk über 10 Messmaschinen und sobald wir Werte nachträglich laden müssen müssen wir das an der jeweiligen KMG Maschine machen.

The alignment does not change the flatness. But you should consider, that if you use filtering and outlier removal, that there might be a number of points for your plane that borders on "filtering works" or "filtering doesn't work". Sometimes the filtering breaks down if there aren't enough points for the filter to work. And since the filtering parameters can change from element to element and characteristic to characteristic, it might be worth to check every element and characteristic for the right parameters, and also check the default protocol for information about the filtering (it tells you when the filter doesn't work).

Thanks
