Hi, I think this is very basic but I can't seem to work it out on my own. I've transformed to halves of a scan into one but I now need to measure the two halves separately and cannot seem to workout how to delete the transformation without deleting one half of the scan is there any way to get around this? I'm on Zeiss Inspect 2025.

Thanks everybody, however.... I closed the program that day, opened another, and have now run 35 hours straight on multiple other programs without any recurrence of the issue though I've used the same stylus systems and adapter plates. Tonight I opened that program on another machine and had no issue. The workpiece is over 400 lbs and the setup is very rigid using a custom fixture bolted to the granite in four locations. Probe changes happen without issue and without any unusual sound. I bet I've done a couple hundred. I've qualified 85 systems in the intervening time as well. No failures. This probe head is a few months old. We've gotten pretty good at finding all instances of collisions, their locations, velocities, and probe scaling. There have been none over 10mm/s since the probe was installed. My techs all compliment me on my lab and my processes; I run a damn tight ship. I would hope a brand-new sensor with zero hard use would not already have given up, but I'll be watching for a repeat performance.

I have an impeller. Six helical blades tapering to the top. I need to find the diameter of the blades at the bottom and at the top. I created a cross section thru the bottom to start. How do find that diameter? I have tried maximum coordinate in polar and then made a circle out of those points but it doesn't put it where I thought it would I am open to any and all advice.

This might not be relevant, but Zeiss Inspect can use AMD Ryzen just fine. My Zeiss supplied computer for Inspect has an AMD Threadripper.

I created a colormap visualizer that exports colormaps as standalone HTML files. It currently supports Surface Comparisons on CAD, Surface Comparisons on Actual (mesh and point-based*), Surface Components*, and Vector Fields. For projects with multiple stages or displacement data, the viewer includes a timeline so you can switch between stages. I tried to match the look and feel of ZEISS INSPECT. In short; the exporter reads the colormap np.arrays (.data.coordinate | .normals | .scalar_values | .triangles[when available]), compresses them, and embeds them in the HTML. The exported .html opens in most of the browsers i've tested so far, and in Microsoft teams chats. the user doesnt need to install anything. = ) to install: Download .addon: https://github.com/Devon-Kile/Colormap_Visualizer_addon.git or https://github.com/Devon-Kile/Colormap_Visualizer.git code->download zip->extract the "Colormap_Visualizer" folder--> Then in Zeiss APP Editor -->Connect external folder. test it, break it, fix it, & i've also included a "prompt_for_ai.md" if you want to improve it. *known limitations documented in the README.md

Thanks, I try to be through in my testing 🙂 Yes, it has been powered down and left to sit for ~15 mins first by the control box power button, then for ~45 mins by the control box power button then unplugging it from the wall. I'm in the process of submitting a helpdesk ticket, hopefully they'll have some ideas. The PC has been restarted as well.

You've done some good testing. Looks like you've ruled out limit switches and a faulty E-Stop on the control box. Dumb question, but have you completely powered the machine down and restarted it. I don't know of a way inside Calypso to say which sensor is causing the error. The Zeiss technicians have a software that will tell you, but its not publicly available of course.

Do you have filters and outliers?

If you perform a few automatic probe-tip changes and the probe head makes a humming sound or takes longer than usual to calibrate, the head is likely faulty. You might also want to try probing the reference sphere a few times to check for any variance in the probing results.

@Richard Stanich I’ve also used cervical plates like those; I handled the alignment via the drill hole (using a ball-shaped component).

It "should" be the curve corrected points. I've had issues when the two curves were setup differently, so typically I just define one of them, copy, and offset the 2nd one, so that they match. Usually the start/stop isn't much of an issue, it's typically the point numbers being drastically different, so there isn't a directly opposing point for calculation.

I don't use RE, but what I can say is that on the portal the most recent version is 2023/3.0 and that Zeiss' Software Product Discontinuation list currently has neither an "end of sale" nor an "end of support" date for this version.

Does the "Curve Distance" evaluation(s) use actual points or the calculated feature for results (for instance, if 4000 points was used on one curve and 5000 points was used on the other)? Also, what if the Curves were scanned in opposite directions, or with different start/stop points (in a 360 degree scan)

Agreed @Joe Kerman. That's exactly what this metrology community is for. We help each other and learn together.

Hello all, There is a basic dimension that is required for the next step in the process on our reports (perpendicularity callout), with a 0.005" tolerance. The problem is that every dimension on the report is usually in except the perpendicularity callout. It shows that there is one dimension out when in reality it is ok. I've asked about increasing the tolerance for it, but that was shot down. Is there any way that I can keep the tolerancing, but still show that it passed on the report? (have no red out of tolerance "number values:red")

A little AI information:

Huh, interesting, I've always assumed that CPU's brand doesn't matter as long as they support the same instruction set. I knew GPUs are different because of CUDA cores etc.

Hi, everyone We have been using ZEISS REVERSE ENGINEERING for about three years. During that time, we have never received a software update.We have now heard that the software is no longer being developed and is being phased out. Does anyone know the current status? Thanks in advance

Hallo Matthias, stell dein Profil vorübergehend auf US, dann sollte der Link funktionieren

@Matthias Suchanek I cannot believe the Knowledge Base problem is still not solved. Dear Carl (@admin), when is the release date planned?

where is it
