The Create Features button is grayed out in the Create Features window. That seems like it means something...

Hello, we tested Zeiss Inspect on some PC and it looks good so we asked for the full Version. But first we wanted to try it on our strongest PC with Windows Enterprise Server. Sadly the installation of the Quality Suite stops with an Error. Anyone knows the solution? Thanks

Das Projekt, wo das passierte, existiert so nicht mehr (ich erzeuge es meistens nur temporär fürs Scanning). Auch keine Logs u.ä. Ich könnte auch nicht sicher sagen, ob ich das SP1 schon installiert hatte oder nicht. Den Fall, daß ich die Transformation aufheben musste, hatte ich vorher auch noch nie und wird so schnell auch nicht mehr auftreten. Da war mir ein Fehler passiert und ich wollte nicht nochmal von vorn anfangen.

@Aaron Scalf @Norbert Bendl I could not reproduce it with a sample project in 2026 SP1. Could you please contact your local support with logs and maybe the project?

This could be an issue with the rendering, so please make sure the GPU drivers are up to date. Maybe it helps to find the reason by switching to software rendering in help -> system analysis -> Graphics Card.

Die Eintragungen unter Optional versteh ich entweder nicht oder die funktionieren nicht. Hätte es zb. so probiert Hätte auch einige andere Varianten probiert mit zb. Leerzeichen Am Anfang verboten, aber egal was ich hier eintrage, der Ablauf kann immer wie gewohnt mit der letzten Option also mit nichts ausgewählt starten.

This is not possible with an XXT on first qualification. XXT requires 180° of coverage on Passive Qualification. XXT has two qualification modes. "Qualify Passive" and "Geometry Requalification". Passive requires 180° and must be completed at least 1 time before "Geometry Requal" is available to use. That styli build is obviously a custom construction. My advisement is to try a smaller styli to qualify against as a trial. Maybe a 5mm MasterProbe or something similar with a very rigid shank. Even 5mm looks like it may be too large based on the length of the shank on each probe. Take note - a disc probe is not suppported on an XXT contrary to the above diagrams

Not that I'm aware of. You should always perform some sort of routine qualification, but that frequency if completely up to you, and your company (usually risk assessment is needed).

@Richard Shomaker So nothing really saying you HAVE to do the others unless due to a machine crash.

It depends.... Did you crash the machine? If yes, it's probably in your best interest to requalify all stylus/stylus systems. If you are just simply replacing a stylus due to wear or switching sizes/lengths, then most likely no.

I could not find any clear answer on this, If I replace a probe and have to re find the ref. sphere location with the master to calibrate that probe do I have to calibrate all other probes on my rack or can I just calibrate the one probe I replaced and the rest will compensate?

In Resources - Design custom printout - Editor for user-defined printout header variables Make sure your custom header variables are mapped. Then, once you run the measurement plan once, it will now be accessible via the drop-down inside the database.

@Adam Huff, I've experienced a similar issue, so I'm curious if yours is the same as I faced. When you open the "Create Features" window and then click on the CAD model, does this allow you to extract and create features while that window is open (by assigning the feature type from the Create Features buttons)?

Unfortunately, healing the model does not work either.

Yes, thank you Martin and thank you Jochen, with Max Curvature point with curve curvature it works fine. Thank you very much!

Once you have a curve, then you can use measuring principle - Curve Curvture. Then you can fill that Curve

Sorry can`t help you with that. I havent used this function myself yet. Just remembered reading about it somewhere (prob techguide).

Thank you very much! How can I do this? I make a section with the 4 zone, then I make a curve from this section (I found Projected Curve) and finally I tried to make a pojnt of max curvature, but it's not possible to select this curve.

Maybe if you go by point of maximum curvature on selection? The cavity number should include thhis point with the right selection of surfaces. Probably wont be the max point in z, but at least you can detect the side of the caviity number and with further checks get the max point in z.

With styli that short, you'll likely need at adjust your taper angle to avoid shanking. Under stylus system management, locate your stylus system and go to the Geometry tab. You should see a column called Taper Angle. The default setting is 180º (the equator of the reference sphere). You'll need to shoot for a smaller taper angle until you find one that works (maybe 165º?). Note that changing this setting, although calibration would be successful, means the probe isn't being physically checked where it would make actual contact with your parts (i.e. your probe could develop wear at it's equator, but your calibration would theoretically be in spec as it uses math to account for the taper).

Excuse me but I didn't understand what do you mean. I have to took the highest point coming from 2 different directions. If the piece was only rotated around the Z axis thsi is not a problem, but in this case I have the piece rotated around the X axis, but I have to take the maximum point coming from Z+ and Z-. I hope I explained myself.

I was taught you can export or see maximum model from all stages - but i don't know much more from head and i am not sure if you can do this evaluation across all stages.

Windows cmd, with .bat file ? you would have to guesstimate the gear run time per program, and use it in Calypso to start a timer, etc. Would take some development, but just a thought, obviously don't want to close it too soon.

Good morning to all, I need to align a part that has perfect symmetry in Z, but I would like to align the various stages using the figure number on the same side. Unfortunately, the “disc caliper on selection” strategy cannot be applied, because I would like to find the outermost point relative to Z zero, but in this case the maximum point can be either on the Z− side or the Z+ side. Is there any workaround that can be used to achieve this? Thank you very much.

And to be specific, i find the *visual* of the woman talking distracting and unnecessary. The actual narration voice is okay
