It can be a problem inside of those A1-9 variables. It complains about missing dot "." or right bracket ")"

wie kann ich einen DMO Report generieren ? Unter " export" finde ich nichts. Muß ich eine App installieren ? Gibt es verschiedene Formate ? Soll für Mercedes sein

I'm running into a weird error using executeCode. The great Eric Moberg wrote this snippet of code for me, and I have used it for years with no issues. Recently I have one measurement plan that it just doesn't work on. I get the following error. The code is loaded in, and ran via runPCMFile(preSettings), so this code lives inside of a txt file that is read by every measurement plan. Like I said, no other measurement plan is having issue with this, but apparently this measurement plan is. I just don't know what would cause it. Any thoughts?

I've searched forum and can not find it. There was a question on a spherical part with approx 45° angled cylindrical slots fixtured by top screw and author was looking for a dip on top to stop rotation. And one of the comments was that it's a job for optical. If it's not this thread, then i don't know which was it 🙂

I didn't even think of a start alignment. Thanks for that.

Well you can just fill XYZ from a sphere and nothing else. But i would fill start alignment and take granite scan and direction from that. Then you can run base alignment normally, but you just select start alignment from alignments list ( usually you have there "Existing alignment" )

oooohhhhhh. that would be awesome

I have a part that is basically a half sphere that is hollow. I need the ID and OD. I have never worked with spheres. How would I do the base alignment so that the machine can reliabley find the part to measure?

Hi, Indeed not automatically, manually i am able to. Thanks for your tips and responses!

yes good find Norbert ! I swore I attached an .xml, I'll search my files but I have a feeling it is gone, since migrating jobs, etc. Ah, I see , couldn't upload the .xml - so I posted the code; give it a shot. If you get it figured out, feel free to share with everyone ! good luck !!

well no luck finding it, I searched through my attachments, posts and the forums. I believe I shared an .xml on the old forums, it was pretty close - but that was before AI. I think you could easily vibe code your own one with AI. I did post on Notepad ++ forums about this. The smalltalk syntax highlighting is like 17yrs old and has not been changed in a very long time.

This one perhaps?

Maybe they're putting the finish touches and working out the bugs on 'dark mode' .... 😅😅😅😅

Hi Rens, "Specify why you think I am doing something wrong? " Because the measurements are not transformed🙂 Sorry not too helpful i know. We just have a scanport and no scanbox and so i cant help you with the specifics of creating templates with VRM. Maybe have a look in the tech guide. They also talk about fixtures and stuff here. https://techguide.zeiss.com/en/zeiss-inspect-2026/article/introduction_to_VMR_workflow.html https://techguide.zeiss.com/en/zeiss-inspect-2026/article/how_to_measure_top_and_bottom_surfaces_(VMR).html?serial=0

Strange how well it fits the topic 😄

Hi, Thanks for your response. Specify why you think I am doing something wrong? You are able to automatically transform the measurement series based on the reference stickers on the fixture without manually selecting them? For the project template I do use a fixture beside it which is a pole with a lot of reference stickers. I didn't import it as a fixture, I know it is good to import it in the template as a fixture. Regards

Sorry for the very late response. What I'm trying to do is, take Point1.dN + Point2.dn = Sum (.002+(-.003)=-.001). I've look all over the interwebs with no luck on this matter.

Through tolerance selection it's not possible. You are defining only range of nominal and it will give you the tolerance, it's not reading how many decimals there are. Only PCM or a parser of "inspection" file and do changes outside Calypso.

Is there a way to do this through a .xml or .tol file though? I do not have a PCM license, and my production floor cannot run PCM.

Hi, you seem to do something wrong while creating the template for kiosk. I have only tried that once so far, so i leave the answer to that to more expierenced users. "Is there a solution where I can transform the measurements without using the reference stickers on the part itself so it automatically transform it? " You can use fixtures. Fixtures can be added so that the software "knows" them and can differentiate between fixture and part. There are also free 3D-print models available for most of this stuff, so it won`t brake the bank.

Scratch my idea - i swapped a cylindrical part from another thread - there would fit a circular path.

A plane would also work in principle, but you would need to extract portions of the scanned points around every hole and recall them to separate planes. Because the problem is that the minimum coordinate gives you only one value: the one with the greatest distance from the reference element. So if you scan a 360° circular plane over all bores and evaluate the whole plane, you get only the min coordinate of one of the bores. To get coordinates for all of them you need one (partial) plane for every bore.

Yes. In Characteristics Settings Editor one of the settings is for the number of decimal places.
