Back to the original topic of the thread: This

OK I'm hoping someone else jumps in here because I don't remember the whole thing: This chunk of code {^((?!\.\(M|L\)|\^Diameter For).)*$} gets pasted into the piweb designer. I can't remember exactly what to do with it to make it work but it does remove those lines (as well as MMC / LMC lines that everybody hates).

I'm having issue hiding multiple cad files during planner simulation. I have one program for different operations, but when I run planner with cads hidden in the hierarchy it still shows all the cad files with shows collision all over the place. I can go around and troubleshoot the collision, but it would be much easier if calypso could hide only the specified cad during simulation. Does anyone has a solution for this issue?

@MPA Industrial CT Scan Artifacts in Multi-Material Components Overview Industrial computed tomography (CT) inspections performed on complex components often include materials with significantly different densities, atomic numbers, and X-ray attenuation characteristics. When materials such as aluminum, steel, titanium, tungsten, plastics, elastomers, or composites are present in the same scan volume, artifact formation can occur even when the scanner is operating correctly. Why Artifacts Occur CT reconstruction assumes that X-ray attenuation measurements remain consistent throughout the rotational scan. High-density materials absorb substantially more X-ray energy than low-density materials, producing non-linear attenuation effects that violate ideal reconstruction assumptions. Beam Hardening Lower energy photons are preferentially absorbed as the X-ray beam passes through dense material. The remaining beam becomes more energetic, resulting in beam hardening. Common symptoms include dark bands, cupping artifacts, false dimensional edges, and density gradients around dense features. Photon Starvation In regions where thick or high-density material blocks much of the X-ray flux, too few photons reach the detector. Reconstruction algorithms amplify the resulting noise, creating streaks and star-shaped artifacts between dense features. Scatter Effects Scattered radiation reaching the detector introduces incorrect intensity measurements, reducing contrast and creating haze, streaking, and edge distortions. Metal and High Contrast Artifacts Sharp transitions between materials of vastly different attenuation levels can generate reconstruction errors, partial-volume effects, and edge overshoot artifacts that appear as bright or dark streaks. Physical Filters Physical pre-filters made from materials such as copper, tin, or aluminum are commonly placed in the beam path. These filters remove low-energy photons before they enter the part, reducing beam hardening and improving consistency when scanning dissimilar materials. Digital Correction Methods Zeiss Inspect X-Ray Professional provides correction tools including beam hardening compensation, ring artifact reduction, detector normalization, noise filtering, and optimized reconstruction settings. These algorithms reduce systematic errors before and during volume reconstruction. Best Practices Use the highest practical tube voltage, select appropriate physical filtration, optimize exposure time, increase projection count, minimize detector saturation, and orient dense materials to reduce extreme attenuation paths. Reconstruction parameters should be validated using representative production components. Summary Artifacts are a natural consequence of X-ray physics when dissimilar-density materials are scanned together. Understanding beam hardening, photon starvation, scattering, partial-volume effects, and detector limitations allows inspection laboratories to minimize artifacts and obtain cleaner, more reliable CT data.

I have, and match the CMM and Keyence results. And the customer's results. Our engineers think the planes need to be constrained. Even though I've never had to constrain a plane before. I'm scanning and evaluating this thing muuuuultiple ways. The results are always similar. Part of me want's to believe the engineer because the cad eval shows the points within their zones. But constraining the features, and the result is conforming. But the eval looks non-conforming. However earlier this week, Jeff informed me about angles showing form instead of result. That would mean the form is good and the measurement is accurate? And Marcel was saying 'when constraining the angled features, the form is compared to the alignment.' So the constrained view is what the part looks like? buuuut measures the angle in tolerance. non-constrained: constrained:

I would look at zoom level in the CAD Evaluation. 0.100 is ten times 1.000

Put the part on a comparator. If its what engineering states, 45°, you are wrong If its nearly your results, you are correct. End of story. Your first two graphs (bar graphs) tells me there are issues with the middle plane and the plane in the lower bar graph image that could contribute to the results you get off the CMM.

anyone have a example or a phython script that can be shared?

im not sure if this works but you can try this.. This disables air-scanning errors!!

I understand now. I have never seen this before. Out of curiosity, how do you align it?

Thank you i finnaly found out the option that hide this crap..

I'm not at my workstation but it's something line CAD/Settings/Geometry/ and uncheck everything except the alignments. This is my preference but you can work with these checkboxes. I think the one you're looking for is like "show all 3d features on CAD" That plane won't disappear until you click away from it and back on it. Sometimes they are persistent. When this happens, use the button underneath the CAD window "Show all geometric features" and then toggle back to "Show CAD" I hate these things.

im make the aligments of cad models before start the program i use calypso and save them separatly then i import them. no issues. TO AVOID MERGING THE CAD MODELS - SEE THE IMAGE!! Hope this help

Hi guys, does anyone know of a way to permanently remove these elements that Calypso creates and that are visible in the CAD window? Even after deleting them using Modify CAD Entities and saving the program, they reappear when I reopen it and remain visible in the CAD window. Is there a way to remove them permanently? Im using Calypso 2025 SP4 V 8.0.16, this is a issue i have in all V8 releases i dont know if in older versions this is a issue.

Hallo Micha, ich habe das grad mal nachgestellt und so wie es aussieht scheint es tatsächlich ein BUG im CALYPSO zu sein. Im Prüfmerkmal wird es bei mir schon nicht korrekt angezeigt. Ich werde einen BUG dazu bei der Entwicklung einstellen, sobald ich eine Rückmeldung erhalte, gebe ich dir hier ein Update! Gruß Marcel

Calypso tries to merge all your geometry into "one model" in a way that is very frustrating. While it *appears* to have the concept of multiple models stored in a hierarchy, but they are not actually separate... It also has flags for which parts are measured and which parts are fixtures, but I cannot figure out how it works and it is always problematic to do anything other than "load one model at a time" Even worse, some of the changes to your model are done "Live" (without hitting "Save")

Yes, I have no explanation on how the air pressure setting dropped to 4.85 bar from 5.0 bar. It magically happened, magically. We reset to 5.0 bar and all is working.

Hi, there is no predefined filter that you can use instantly. In the Designer open the tab page structure, select the protocol element, switch to the data provider tab, select advanced filter and in the tab characteristic filter select "Characteristics within limit".

As for the usefulness: On a non-Zeiss system I used air-scanning all the time to allow people who threw their own parts on a machine and start the program to not worry about the exact clocking of a round part (usually small rings with holes). I took a plane the exact angular distance of one hole to another, so that the probe had to hit at least one edge of a hole. Due to a light preload of the probe, as soon as the probe hit the edge, it would dip a little deeper in the hole but then settle back, so that I could always get a minimum point where the edge was. That was enough to pre-align the clocking, and then I could be sure to hit a hole to get a precise clocking alignment. On a Zeiss with Calypso that doesn't work, because the probe stops as soon as it "dips" into the hole. As an alternative, it's possible to program the path so, that the probe dips, but can't drop deep enough into the hole, so that it's just "surfing the edge" of the hole. You get a minimum point there as well to pre-align the part. Saved me lots of headaches.

You can move the probe in a helix motion without measuring. But in this case there is a risk of the brush causing a collision depending on how deep you go. But Im not going to show how to, since I suspect there might be someone that won't like that information out there. How ever, there is no reason at all to do it they way you ask for. Just set the spehere diameter to 50 and scan it. We use randomized startangles and numbers of rotations so it dont drag the probe at the same locations every time.

@Matthew D @Bruce Kudanian @Norbert Bendl Yes, I know it sounds weird without context but I need this to automatically clean a probe using this cleaning brush https://shop.metrology.zeiss.de/INTERSHOP/web/WFS/IMT-DE-Site/en_DE/-/EUR/ViewProduct-Start?SKU=626170-0011-655&CategoryName=415000&CatalogID=400000&ExtendedNavigation=true

And to add to the confusion: what exactly is out?????????

I have requested multiple things for Inspect, but I do not see any feedback from Zeiss.
