The "Free" version has 'automatic recalculation' turned on by default. if your elements are visible and you switch alignments, they should recalculate automatically, if not they may have a broken dependency (?) - you can check the reason in the properties tab of the element. If its the latter, you can always re-create the check/element (you can not edit w free version). but that being said its extremely powerful free software, I only wish they'd get rid of the log in / license requirement. (like the good ol' GOM Inspect days). Good luck, post more details if your struggling with something in particular. In the future, this forum may be more appropriate & provide a quicker response: https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/forum/20-general/

I'd be interested in this as well. It's been my experience that the only time the RS information gets updated is when a manual qualification happens. I can do any of the other tips I have, but when it comes to the RS, only a manual calibration works. Although I can fixture a RS to be in the same place, it's never in the exact same place. It's only close. When checking really tight tolerance stuff, only being close can make the difference between pass and fail. That's why I insist on my operators doing only manual qualifications when it comes to the RS. If there's a better way to do it, I'm all ears.

If he says they are using them, but they are not magnetic, then it should be ok. Also here is diameter 3 coded from 113 to 217 https://shop.metrology.zeiss.com/INTERSHOP/web/WFS/IMT-US-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProduct-Start?SKU=604001-2017-000&CategoryName=424110&CatalogID=400000&ExtendedNavigation=true

Coded reference markers are typically only used for photogrammetry. If you buy those uncoded 3mm reference markers, while you can make them work on the T-Scan Hawk, they are not designed to natively work on the Hawk, and it will struggle to see them at times.

I usually use 15upr, Gauss, Low-pass. I would use more points to help the calculation.

Thank you.

In this way there is this https://shop.metrology.zeiss.com/INTERSHOP/web/WFS/IMT-US-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProduct-Start?SKU=000250-0004-747

Lucas, you can move the star probe parallel to the component and then check the gap to see whether it is parallel.

Hi Richard, Maybe this helps ?😎 SURFCOM_TOUCH_50_Setup_Instructions_EN.pdf

Does Zeiss have a server in Kentucky where this type of activity could ariginate?

How about these: https://shop.metrology.zeiss.de/INTERSHOP/web/WFS/IMT-DE-Site/en_DE/-/EUR/ViewProduct-Start?SKU=604001-4892-000

I have looked at all of our CMM's and this activity is on them all, it looks like a rolling time frame with different IPs (Similar to the original test posted) per CMM.

I use an indicator running it along the shaft of the Stylus and align the stylus to one of the axes (X or Y) within .001" per 1 inch of stroke. If you are using two or more styli in two or more axes, just indicate one of them. Otherwise, you will be chasing them all day.

Looking for information on how to setup this unit for this requirement (See image: Finish Requirement.png) The second image is what is suggested that can be set on this unit? (See image: SurfCom Specifications.png) I have little knowledge of how to set up this unit; any help is appreciated.

All of the results are stored on the network at creation less some general information for Excel file creation which is local. I will look into making the Drive a variable in PCM so I can swap it on the run in the future.

Hi Richard, it could be another program trying to connect via the intranet network, normally CALYPSO should only show the local host (127.0.0.1) if its an internal application call, for example when you switch to GEAR Pro. As @David Gafner mentioned, you should involve your IT department to take a closer look, even tho i dont think its an attack, but another software is trying to connect or at least scans the CALYPSO Ports. A quick check would be to disconnect the LAN cable from the Intranet (if you programs are stored local), then this message should not appear anymore. Best Regards Marcel

Your IT department needs to identify 10.3.17.71. It might be a cyberattack.

Thank you for your reply! Yes, I know for editing of creation parameters I need professional license. But in free version, if I only change between pre-alignment and main alignment the software is not able to refresh calculated data automatically, that's why the function "recalculate project" would be necessary. The recalculation function is not found either in the menu or as an icon under the menu bar. Without this option I can not recommend anybody to use free version.

Yeah, that's what I'm planning to do. Thanks for the help!

Well free version should be without those functions. You can not edit creation parameters, so this should apply even for this. But i found there is polygonization with recalculation in Acuisition menu. This recalculation button should be in menu - if not, then you can not use that. I believe in 2025 there is also missing this button.

Hello, the function of recalculate project is missing in the software Zeiss Inspect Optical 3D 2026 free version. Without this, the free version is unusable! Would it be possible to enable this function? Thank you.

I have no problem with that - as we work with sandblasted forged parts, then those points can get dirty - cleaning with wet cloth is allright and we don't need to replace them ( we also measure forging tools where we use classic cylindrical magnets with this coating ) I can not tell how much is precission affected, but since it's used mainly to translate measured data in space then it's allright

I think there is no parallelism ref same as flatness ref, but you could make alignment from your datum, use that datum in controlled feature, then use flatness and constrain vector.

Hallo Wojciech, dazu kann ich dir leider nichts sagen, ich arbeite nicht mit PMI. Laut Internetauskunft sollte das gehen. Einfachster Weg, Testlizenz anfordern und ausprobieren!

Hallo zusammen, ich habe das Problem, dass ich eine Parallelität auswerten muss von einer Ebene mit der Toleranz "0,03/100" und dem Bezug zur Basisebene A. Unter Quindos konnte ich direkt die Bezugslänge einstellen. Die Option finde ich bei Calypso leider nicht, außer ich werte es mit Bohrungen aus. Vielen Dank für die Hilfe.
