I am also trying to understand dynamic profile, but here are my thoughts: Based on the description of dynamic profile tolerance zone on page 244, I don't think it makes sense to have an unequal disposed tolerance zone. To get the result, i would use Profile with Bilateral-two results. Then report the difference between the min and max.

Very strange. I have never seen that happen. What version are you one? Maybe it is a bug you can report to the Zeiss support.

Some updated information You can currently see what licenses you have and how many are in use through the WLMAdmin tool. Unfortunately we do not have the ability to kick an individual user. You can try to reboot the Sentinel service which might free up all the licenses but its not specific to one user.

I usually select Normal from Feature and Base Alignment Axis. On the Normal from feature, I use a copy of the Planar Rotation from my base alignment.

Thanks a lot. Now I found a link as below https://techguide.zeiss.com/en/zeiss-inspect-2023/article/general_inspect_license.html It says that "The free license can only be used after expiration of the 14 days trial license period. The trial license automatically turns into a free license." It is for 2023 version but probably valid for 2026 as well. I guess I need to wait until my Trial period ends.

I posted this a while back. its an in depth cal routine that uses a lot of PCM to confirm previous probe cal data vs new cal data. Hope this helps you.

As Steven said there is unfortunately no work around. The earliest software that will work *currently* with an updated Windows 11 Machine is 2023 Service Pack 5 Patch 1. https://portal.zeiss.com/download-center/softwares/imt/software/620351[PG]/620378[P]/

The free version download is the same download as the pro version, it is just the software. The difference is the license you are using. This article explains how to get the free license. https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=3065977 The article is written for 2025, however the process can be followed for 2026 as well.

This website allows you to choose a license filter to see what options are available with the different licenses (Free VS Pro) for the different products. https://www.zeiss.com/metrology/en/software/zeiss-inspect/features.html

Thanks for your replies. Do you know how can I download the free version? I cant find it anywhere and Zeiss representatives in the US say they only give support for Pro versions and they dont know how to install the free version. I need to install the Free version and try that. Thanks!

Yet another lifechanging tip from @Tom Oakes! That is fantastic!

Hello, This was a bug a while back. please install the latest service pack for your version; that will correct the error.

Keep in mind, the formula above is for a program in Inches. If you are in MM, then see below getProbe("Stylus name", "Stylus System Name").stdProbeDev It is important you do not forget the quotes or the comma!!

Hi János, the values are described in this article, together with the integrated distance: ZEISS Quality Tech Guide The Principles of the Surface Deviation might also be interesting. I need to have a look at surface area weighted mean later, but it is possible to use the deviations and areas. Maybe a surface defect element might be used here since it has informations about area, deviation and points. With the python API it should also be possible of course. Nanno

Good morning, I arrived at my facility this morning to find that one of our Duramax CMMs (C99L) controller was powered off, and will not power back on. I have verified there is power to the outlets that the machine is plugged in to. I also removed the back controller box cover on this Duramax and another. I see that on the "functioning" CMM there is an illuminated green light labeled "standby." On the CMM that will not power on the same light is NOT illuminated. Has anyone encountered this before, and have any tips on what to try to do to resolve the issue? I have opened a ticket with Zeiss, but that could be hours, days, or weeks until I hear back.

And you use that in the post settings of the characteristic in question? I still seem to have the same issue.

Text in Englisch siehe unten. Hallo, mit dem Dialogeditor des Skript-Editor kann man interaktiv Dialoge aufbauen. Seit der Änderung des GUI mit der Veröffentlichung von Inspect 2026 ist zwischen der letzten Zeile eines Dialogs und den Dialogbuttons ein recht großer Abstand (siehe Bild). Das Layout eines Dialogs sieht bei dessen Anzeige dann meiner Meinung nach ein wenig unprofessionell aus. Ist dieses Layout ein Bug oder ein Feature von Inspect 2026? Hello, with the dialogue editor of the script editor you can interactively build dialogues. Since the change of the GUI with the release of Inspect 2026, there is quite a large gap between the last line of a dialog and the dialog buttons (see image). In my opinion, the layout of a dialog looks a bit unprofessional when it is displayed. Is this layout a bug or a feature of Inspect 2026?

Any news about the release? Calypso 2025 was launched on May 5, 2025.

The image below would be a wedge probably, "use nominal angle" covers the case of datum elements with an angle between them: ZEISS Quality Tech Guide

Isn't function Use nominal angle supposed to automagically solve this case?

Hi Philippe, if a symmetry plane is defined as a datum, it is created like this (ZEISS Quality Tech Guide) : Middle plane of an inner element Middle plane of a maximum inscribed plane pair The inner planes get inscribed iterative according to the ISO standard. This computation method is not possible to recreate using standard elements. When the standard in the datum system is set to 'geometry', the datum plane and the symmetry plane should be at the same position. You could verify by checking the symmetry plane for position using the datum system with the positional check also set to 'geometry'. Nanno

this part is 130mm long, the cross section is 30x20, therefore C cannot be the primary datum according to ISO I can define a datum between 2 drafted surfaces, it is a wedge. is there any way to refine this triangle mesh?

Hello today, Unfortunately I can`t share full data, but I will try to explain this issue. On drawing I have undercut max0,09 and max edge finish 0,02 In GearPro I`m evaluating it as root relief, my interpretation from drawing. Because I have this: In my opinion, this is how it should be! In lower right corner our production example, everybody says this is ok, because max edge finish (0,02) allow it. Disagree with it! So this is not a max edge finish! Just incorrectly made undercut (root relief), not fully machined! The question is, I`m I right?

Hello, Since the issue occurs only for a specific Windows user account and cannot be reproduced with another user on the same machine, additional diagnostics will be required to determine the root cause. At this point, the information provided in the forum is unfortunately not sufficient for a reliable analysis. We will most likely need to review the PiWeb log files and possibly perform a remote support session to investigate the affected user profile and authentication settings in more detail. Please contact your local ZEISS support hotline and request a support ticket. Once the ticket has been created, our support team will guide you through the collection of the required diagnostic information and continue the investigation. Please reference this forum post when creating the ticket. Best regards, ZEISS PiWeb Support

Do you really need datums in this order? I would start with C ( which is not shown ) and then A and B. I think problem can be that planes used in A and B are angled and Inspect can interpret model edges wrongly ( you see nice faces, but Inspect is secretly transforming this model into triangle mesh ) I would use a plane from 4 corners close to A1B1, ... and make section on those A1,2 and B1,2 - then use symmetry from those lines. You get from B only direction - it's not compensating tilt, and according to ISO/ASME it will be evaluated as perpendicular to A. Also i think A,B planes are short in height.
