@Martin Jánský I’m sorry, but I didn’t quite follow your point. Which values should I look at, and where, to understand if it is offset relative to the axis?"

Hello Alivia, the errors/hints/recalculations should be displayed in the project guide. The color scheme was changed a bit in the project guide, but it should display the same information as with GOM Inspect. Which errors are missing and where did you expect them to be shown? It might be possible that in a newer version subsequent errors are filtered out, which did not happen in older versions. Nanno

I am not sure how Inspect is handeling situation, where you have whole model, but scan is only from a one side. You can visually compare without profile by clicking on "Compare surface on actuals" With profile and surface element i dont know

I think you could use only that point for rotation. Line is unnecessary for this task. I would also use symmetry point or plane symmetry, but then use a point from that plane. Vector of that sym-plane can be wrong and is not working for that clocking. Same is for bottom plane

So i was wrong about filling IP other than 127.0.0.1 I have on that page with service setted up WebServer IP address as Localhost and not that IP from machine. Perhaps this will help?

"I need to calculate the centering (o alignment) of these slots relative to the main axis. Can anyone help? I tried creating a 3D line connecting the center with the symmetry point of the upper slot, but I'm not sure if I did it correctly."

I use Calypso 2025 and have no problems except for the CAD analysis and the fact that no probe is shown in the RDS when changing angles. However, I don't have a planner seat with simulation, so I can't comment on that. We have an SMA, so my management is behind when it comes to updates.

What I like to ask when people tell me that the VAST or VAST XTR are more accurate is whether their environment—specifically, climate control, humidity, and the acclimatization of the measuring components—is adequate. Most of them have at least one inaccuracy. Therefore, I think most people don't see any significant difference between the XTR and other sensors. I use the XTR without CAA and have seven probes that cover everything I need, including a disc sensor.

Guten Morgen, Der Login funktioniert wieder👌 Besten Dank

Thank you for your response ! I'm working on composite part, so my comparison are between a CAD and a 3D scan of the mold (there is no thickness). I can compare a plan if I want to do GD&T control like surface profile, but I can't do it on the entire surface if there is no thickness on my mesh ?

I have an one meter (100 cm) long hollow pipe , diameter is 10 cm. At center of pipe, one hole 7.5 cm , normal to the pipe axis, and callout are hole perpendicularity , parallelism asd it position w.r.t pipe axis. I measured pipe as datum /A-B/ on plus Y-axis , align it, measured Hole at Z-axis (vector 0, 0,1). Just want to know how to report these callout.

I also have this issue. I use ALT-TAB to scroll through the open windows. Just keep hitting alt-tab until the pi-web report is highlighted and let go. It will pop back up.l

The Cobra Effect is a situation where an attempted solution to a problem actually makes the problem worse because of unintended incentives. The term comes from a story during British colonial rule in India. Authorities were worried about venomous cobras, so they offered a reward for every dead snake. At first, it seemed effective—but people began breeding cobras just to kill them for the bounty. When the government discovered this and canceled the program, breeders released the now-worthless snakes, leading to even more cobras than before. 🤣

what kind of symmetry plane are you using? i dont think the one under construction would work, believe you would have to use the one under feature and recall feature points from both sides of the slot

Another thing to consider is if you're using CAA with the XXT or not. CAA will save you calibration time if you have a bunch of angles to calibrate, but you'll lose some accuracy as opposed to calibrating each angle individually.

@Richard Stanich Thank you for your input. The cost of setup was getting out of hand when I first started creating probes for the jobs, and time consuming. I ran into issues swapping the two heads and ended up erasing all the probe configuration. I will continue with the RDS configuration for now. I believe in the future I will have the opportunity to utilize the XTR Gold with longer parts or tighter tolerances. Best regards

@Keith Forche Yes, please share the steps if possible. I as well am encountering this for automotive.

ZEISS INSPECT Hardware Service are running perfectly by design. I can get to it with port :39025 with 127.0.0.1:39025 and after I change it to 192.168.4.1:39025. and everytime I'm getting this (The connection is blocked.

Looking to upgrade to Calypso 2025 (8.0.1203) with our Win11 updates. I have installed it on an offline laptop to get familiar with it and see how it imports programs. The drawback is no output for the CAD Presentation commands on the evaluation side. I do remember hearing at the user group meeting this being an issue. Is there any resolution we know of? I scoured the forum a bit before asking, but nothing too specific about this topic that I was able to find with my limited time. I did read a lot of discouragement of v.2025 until the lates patches, but hoped since 2026 is coming or is out that this wouldn't still be an issue. What is a good alternate solution to this method in the new versions? I apologize if this is a beaten-to-death topic but I seldom use the forums.

I forgot about my own thread. 😜 The nominals of the X coordinates make Datum C some sort of Symmetry. The X coordinates do not line up if I take only that one surface. I understand what Richard is saying about how to evaluate Datum B. I would prefer to set up some sort of iterative alignment to loop these, and from what I understand that is only possible if all points are used as point sets. Any way to get around that? And how to evaluate C, since it is a symmetry? Take lines and hope for the best?

I am trying to get the position to AB and the position to A. I cannot pull up simultaneous requirement in my position box by using a symmetry plane to the slots. AI keeps telling me to use a slot to do this and that I should be using both slots. How can I do this? I'm new to this version of calypso so the new GDT position is a bit different. Need help. Thanks

I am experiencing this on v2022. I just reload the multi report. What I also have and is more frustrating, is PiWeb report will come up blank until I use F7.

Does Observer require a dashboard, third-party software? I pull the ProgramDurationRecord.xml file into excel and chart it, it's a PITA.

Beware of the Cobra Effect. If you don't know what that is then look it up. When I solely tracked number of parts inspected, I found that 2nd shift operators would just run the quickest/easiest parts, thereby inflating their numbers, and leave 3rd shift to run the more difficult/longer run time parts.

I have both sensors as well; I use both all the time. We mainly utilize the XXT sensor to save money on the cost of XTR builds. Example, prior to getting the XXT sensor, we have two jobs that require a total of 18 different probes due to compound angled features. With 28 builds that is 28 Adaptors at $1050.00 each then add the extensions, adaptors (angles), styli etc. With the RDS where I converted one job to the XXT sensor we use 7 of 9 builds permanently on the rack. The cost of the 9 builds for the XXT was about $3,050.00 for the adaptors then add extensions and styli (We bought a bundle of adaptors, a count of 10 adaptors). Typically, the XXT adaptors are $450 each. The cost savings is great; the accuracy is great. Less probe management as well, where we can now disassemble some XTR builds and use for any project that comes in where the XTR would be useful. Using data when the part was on the XTR sensor (PiWeb report) and after converting to the XXT sensor, we saw no discernable change in values that would warrant any concern.
