You could search inside "inspset" and "inspection" files for links to a sab or sat file.

Thank you!

Hello, this is a known problem which is currently being troubleshooted, see this post in another thread:

Hello, we are still trying to solve this problem with high priority. The root cause is not any Windows update. Thank you for your patience in the meantime. As mentioned in https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25913-failed-to-log-in-error-when-clicking-on-log-in-in-zeiss-quality-suite/?do=findComment&comment=149194, the ZEISS Portal is an alternative for some tasks, especially for downloading software.

Hello, I've also the same problem with the login of the current Quality Suite 7.1.2847.0. Best regards Michael

Hello, we have the same problems - ZEISS Quality Suite login and installs not working. Nobody is fixing it.

I don't think that will work. We had a specialist training course for QDAS from Zeiss. It was conducted by Robert Disser, an absolute top expert in PiWeb and QDAS; he might be able to help you.

Maybe I need to describe in more detail what I intend to do. Up until now I have two destinations Calypso results are fed to: One is a QS-Stat system with automatic upload service to a QDAS database (this is for our serial production), the other one is a CAQ system where we do our first sample inspections. While the CAQ needs all the characteristics, the QDAS system only takes a narrowed down selection of results. Today the data for the CAQ system is read from the compact protocol and the protocols are written to individual paths. The QDAS data on the other hand is written the usual way (with settings in QDASCONV.CON) to DFD/DFX files, which are then transferred to the database by the QDAS upload service and deleted afterwards. Now, in the near future our CAQ system will change and the new system can no longer read results from the compact protocol, but needs a QDAS file. So now I'm looking for a way to generate a seperate QDAS file in a different location with ALL charcteristics, and WITHOUT disturbing the normal data transfer to the QDAS system in any way. I can not just grab the files written by the normal QDAS output: They do not contain all the data needed and are continuously fetched and then deleted by the upload service. Meddling with this workflow would severely disturb our production process.

What about workpiece.vff at the bottom of the list? VFF is a proprietary CAD format that is also used for SSC stylus or CMM models. For personal reasons I find it very interesting that Calypso seems to be able to write that format now. ☺️ May I ask which Calypso version you have?

Don, you are pretty close to the goal you want to meet 😉 Just replace "....gear [Profile / Lead / Index (Std)]" => "....gear [Lead Only]". Than it should work as you expect.

Chad, regarding the described phenomenom and the important hint "all teeth measurement" this could be a timing problem? More teeth, more evaluation time, more printing time, ... You could try to deactivate the mm background grid on the report pages for the PDF creation. Just deactivate the yellow marked checkbox. With doing this the file size will automatically decrease dramatically even if you have an all teeth measurement.

@Edgars Putelis thank you for reminding me, that I already answered this topic in the mentioned post 🙂.

Maybe this would help!

Hallo zusammen, dem kann ich mich nur anschließen. Bei uns das gleiche Problem! Viele Grüße

Hello, has anyone found a solution yet?

Hello, We are experiencing the same issue. After attempting to update ZEISS Inspect Optical 3D Version 2026.3.1.9, the software became unusable. We hope it will be resolved soon so that we can continue using it. Thank you in advance

You can have both. There is an Fa or a Fb with directional values, and there is the more typical known Fa or Fb that is the absolute value. Maybe someone like @Roman Groß could help shed some more light as to why the ANSI spec is reported this way.

Sure? You could also just create a new Alignment and fill in that point as the Z Origin - it should net the same exact result, but with less steps.

If that is the case, then just simply make Datum B the Tertiary as well. There are cases where that is not recommended, but I believe in your case it would be OK. Here is a Knowledge Base article about this. https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=868503

If I was running Calypso 2018 and I had a profile of a cone called out to B as primary and A as secondary, and no teriary, I return no value. If freeform is not available what is the work around to return correct results? For context B is an outside cylinder on the bottom of a plane which is A. Think of a top hat. The cone is on the other side of A and is an internal cone with the vertix pointing toward B with the intent that the cone and B share an axis. It's been a while since I needed to work without free form. Consequently the system does have curve.

I should know this but my brain is a bit foggy. I have a face groove detail on a cylindrical part. View shown below is from the -Y direction. The Z depth of this groove has been problematic for reasons I don't know. The drawing is calling for profile of 2 radii within the curve. If I take a point in the -Z direction at the bottom, where the 2 radii are tangent, I believe that will give the curve enough information to locate it for measuring. Will a geometry best fit alignment from the point do the job?

Was there any answer to why the machine was doing this? Our Contura’s XXT started doing this today.

@Norbert Bendl I am working with the program that is saved on my pc and is not connected to the customer's network where the cad model was loaded from. @Richard Stanich My file explorer is set to show hidden files. @Bruce Kudanian That was the first thing I did. Model.sab still didn't come back in later paragraph I've opened every file that could be opened with notepad and searched for "CAD", "model" and "igs" and found nothing that would lead me to believe it was linked to a mystery file, but not every file opened an ascii file. For shigs & gittles, I loaded the cadcube.sab file and it replaced the original ghost model and it behaves like normal. The model is visible in the hierarchy but not with the typical CAD file name. Also, in the measurement plan folder, there is no "model.sab" or "model_eval.sab" file. Yes, I completely closed out Calypso and re-loaded the mp. This makes me think there is another location storing the model info?????
