I feel exactly the same @Jack Nelson.2. I would consider taking an in-person Calypso Expert course, but I would not take it online. Hopefully the Maple Grove facility schedules it.

Here is a super rough stech.

I will try to put one together in a bit. But you are right it's not really a hole it is a radius that is the start of a scrollwork type pattern the swirls towards the center of the part.

A sketch would be helpfull here. I would measure symmetry point at that slot. Now you can recall center circle and this point to make a 3d line used for clocking. Don't forget in special use rotation. Another thing is how to perform measurement in CNC mode, when your part is not always at same spot and rotation. I highly doubt that you will have any dimension to edge of a hole. But as i stated on first line - a sketch would be helpfull.

I have a round part with a plane on top, think of a round disc. There is a slot on the part at -15 degrees that is a clocking feature. There is a basic angle from the center of the slot that says 75 degrees. Essentially this is sitting at -90 degrees. Then there is a hole that is called out at 35 degrees further, but that angle is to the far side of the hole. How do I draw a line from the center of the major of to far outside edge of the hole. Essentially the slot is at 4 o'clock. The basic 75 goes from 4 o'clock to six o'clock. The hole is at roughly 7:30 but the line goes to the left side of the hole instead of the center.

Hello Martin, Great, thanks for the support.

@Alaa Nwesry You can open "Inspection Details" and click on Graph icon - it's not the same, but data are there

Hello Nanno, looks great, yet i can't find the " Tolerance status tab" !

Hello, how to show the Tolerance Status tab, for better understanding how many of a group elements are in tolerance ?

You can change the measurement series dependency at any time, which would "undo" the transformation.

I'm comfortable with step points but I just haven't mastered kink points, though I don't recall many situations where I thought a kink point was going to be the solution. I would love to see a Calypso Wiki site where users could post actual applications on EVERY topic within Calypso. Maybe even put them in the help manual. I know the manual tries to explain what everything is, but presenting "real world" situations might help bring more clarity.

@Nanno Muehl What i saw was only 1st and 3rd. I thought i would see 1st and 2nd combined and i wanted to transform 3rd into 1st. I think i had a problem with ref. points which should be common among 2nd and 3rd, but not in 3rd and 1st. 2nd and 1st had other common ref. points. Or i just got lost on that complex part

Only option i know is making template without plot page.

Hi Guys, We received a program from the client, and it automatically generates a report with shape plots. While i know where to enable/disable report from PiWeb, this one (which seems to be an older version of that report) I don't know where it can be turned off. Can you help?

You should just be able to select the point component & File-Export-StageData-CSV

Exchange row template does need to be on. Make sure filter is either off or you turn on display for the CAD evaluation if it is checked on. In regard to your glitchy CAD check your nvidia settings (see link below) and make sure drivers are up to date. https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=528774

Here is a knowledge base with a little more description on what I am referring to try and fix the issue. https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=3777759

This is currently a known bug and being looked at by development. In the meantime some users have luck by turning on the display option which seems to force trigger the CAD evaluation.

CMM OBSERVER would be the way to go. See attached for information. If you are kind to your Zeiss Aftermarket Rep (hehe), they might just issue you a free trail to test it out. CMMobserver.pdf

@Chad Watton Not sure , bunch of different suppliers from InvoSpline to Broach Masters, I've been inspecting master gears roughly 20 years. Most in the midwest some from northern California - we had the capability of doing them ourselves although only have done them once or twice, because technically you need a 'lab' to verify. I apologize for going off topic - but if most have a bore of 0.500" would be good idea to make an arbor whose post protrudes and all diameters are concentric < .0001". Then you can mount part in chuck and indicate the arbor if needed. I've done most without an arbor in the chuck with measuring the bore and gear with R/T. I have lots of experience inspecting gear and spline gages on GMMs. One note I will add is that most master gear and spline gage drawings lack a lot of information regarding proper datums, and tolerances per AGMA master gear chapter info, including bore and face runouts, etc. Spline gages - the teeth actually do not have to be true to anything on the outside of the gage, only to themselves, which can be a pain to establish the pitch diameter as datum, but I have also done many times. If I was making the drawings, I would just put a perp and parallel callout for inspection purposes only. I'm impressed your able to inspect master gears WITHOUT R/T, star probe ? I think you have a Prismo Ultra too correct ?- would have loved to have one of those. We ordered the master gear on he zeiss webshop last year - not a good experience, super late, and not the greatest quality Ive seen some profile error on one side over 2 micron , but within its limits. Could have been a one off issue.

@Chris RotoloI started running master gears on my Micura with no rotary table for this very reason. I need to know who makes your sub micron master gears. I'm not very happy with our master gears at the moment.

Probably you should explicitly cast the string to floats.

I think the R/T - AB select I think is the 'best produced' (e.g. most flat & round) of the all of the R/T's they purchase; which I heard once upon a time that are actually acquired from Klinglenberg. (which I'm now running Kling P40 and R300 equipment 😀 )

If you export via a measurement table inside of a PiWeb Report that is sorted via Characteristic Number then it will be in this order. Otherwise you would need to manipulate the data yourself if you are exporting via the PiWeb Reporting Plus database (but having said that, just move the order column to the first column, then sort that way; or use Pivot tables).

@Keith Forche It is unfortunately only available on the Prismo Ultra. :(, but here is some information on it. They guarantee 10% or less tolerance usage on 2-3µm tolerances (so essentially 0.2-0.3µm accuracy). Having said that, the accuracy on the standard RT-AB is already extremely impressive. I'll do some more testing on our RT-RB-100 because I'm interested in quantifying the measurement discrepancy between diameters measured with/without the rotary.
