Does anyone know of an efficient way to Recall Feature Points from a Curve that has a Pattern on it? In my example, I have a group of (4) curves that has a 116x pattern on them. I need to then create a FreeForm Surface for each 4x group of curves - so essentially I need to create 116x FFS that pulls from the correct set of (4) curves. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Isagani, Thank you for the update. Glad to hear that you were able to pinpoint and resolve the issue!

Jack,

Hello Richard, Typically, no, performing a fitting position of the masterprobe shouldn't require you to re-qualify all of your stylus systems. Really, a fitting position only needs to be performed once to enable RC-CAA for other stylus systems. If the fitting position was done as part of routine maintenance, you probably don't need to requalify. However, if the fitting position was repeated because of a crash, hardware change, or for another issue that could affect accuracy, then I would recommend requalifying the other stylus systems. Here is all I could really find on the topic in the CALYPSO manual

UPDATE: Background: IT department modified the network printer path/location without us knowing, this caused the error to occur after the program finished running and about to create PDF files and send to print automatically. In the Calypso Environment - the printer was still set-up to the old network printer which was selected initially before. The Fix: changed it to calypso default printer, which is the newly set-up network printer or you can select the printer manually in define printer.

I've never heard of a fitting position before. What is it?

Unchecking this box makes them go away, but the box gets re-checked automatically for me in one particular program. I wish i could figure out how to fix this one annoying program

If I perform a fitting position on the MasterProbe will that affect all of my qualified styli? I have always re-qualified all styli in the past. Just looking for a short cut since I just qualified recently. FYI I had a stylus pass RC-CAA and qualification with a sigma of .00061 while the limit is set at .00015. It clearly shows as passed in the Probing System Qualification dialog box.

Is here any way to turn off the VMR optemization? I had to adjust some moves on our new scanbox (assembled with Inspect 2026 only) and the program I was going to edit was previously migrated to Inspect 2025, both 5x scanbox systems. The VMR scan positions were re-created on the new 5X, why would the new cell auto optemize moves on a program with identical VMR's? For clarity, I used the same VMR elements in both projects. All I did was open the inspect 2025 project in Inspect 2026 at the scanbox.

ZEISS offers several multi-sphere calibration artifacts, here are 2 examples. https://shop.metrology.zeiss.com/INTERSHOP/web/WFS/IMT-US-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProduct-Start?SKU=626106-9013-000&CategoryName=460120&CatalogID=400000&ExtendedNavigation=true https://shop.metrology.zeiss.com/INTERSHOP/web/WFS/IMT-US-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProduct-Start?SKU=626106-9120-100&CategoryName=460120&CatalogID=400000&ExtendedNavigation=true Here is a thread on one method for adding a second orientation to a calibration program

Yep , its killstrike from designer. I think that the designer confused position with surface profile. Thanks for the feedback.

I saw evaluation in one axis, but that was in Calypso and only for curves - not for FF. I ended up with equidistant points and reporting their deviation in on axis. But i can not figure out what meaning will that number have for me.

I solved this way.

Surface profile evaluated along only one axis for example for only for X. I think its overline task. So i need another opinion.

What you mean by one direction? Like in Calypso which will report maximum only for outer or inner? That can be achieved by using normal surface profile and pinning maximum / minimum from all selected points of profile result.

Good morning or perhaps good evening, I've noticed when scanning larger parts with my ATOS 5 on the ScanBox 5130 system that I am getting artifacts on my mesh due to shadows being cast onto the part from fixturing and thread locators. Is there a way within the software to reduce or eliminate this issue without having to go in and cut out every shadow line? They cause issues within the measurements themselves and cause false fails. If there is not a good software fix for this, what is everyone using for physical shadow reduction? Kind Regards, -Yager

If you are using the classic GD&T, you have the always use .x and .y - the naming itself doesn't matter, it's more in the order. So if you were measuring a Position in the X/Y plane .x = X axis; .y = Y axis. If you were measuring in the X/Z plane .x = X axis; .y = Z axis. If you were measuring in the Y/Z plane .x = Y axis; .y = Z axis.

Hi team , it´s possible to evaluated surface profile only for one direction ?

@Roman Groß"Despite following the steps, I am unable to get a result with the Calipso reporting for the gear results. Sorry for my English.

Ok this may be a bug. After manually calculating the true position, this aligns with the result in the true position characteristic.

This worked for the y direction but not the z, for some reason. The position zone is in the YZ, but doesn't give me an answer and shows the characteristic in pink. This gives me an error on the report saying that it is not possible. If I change it to "x," it shows a result.

yes i try all options, the only thing that works is link again this planes to the cd model, that works for now

Have you also tried to uncheck the option below it? (show 3D geometry features without CAD reference)

Well, this is not an easy job for beginner 🙂 I would suggest making a cylindrical section ( in Section menu ) - you will select axis and radius. Select area on mesh and it will make an section. Now select that section and make a circle from it ( fitting principle ) Now you need to obtain somehow other side of those dimensions. You can either use touch caliper or make there a fitting circle and intersection it with theoretical plane to obtain quadrant. Now you can measure as 2point distance.
