Are you trying to make your Excel file a template for when Calypso exports to Excel?

Dark mode tetris? Hell yeah.

I've made this working by having two models placed same as a physical fixture. But that means you can not have overlaping models, so working area is bigger as for two parts. Now you have to go to join those two models as one. The easiest method is repairing model - this will join them as one CAD model, now it will know what is workpiece and FF will work. Only one thing - do a secondary alignment on a secondary fixture.

Here is a video tutorial on how to update to a 2026 license through the portal. https://portal.zeiss.com/iqr-academy/video/2No-uamZaJuV99yngepcDh Also a PDF on the license manager. https://dcc-assets.zeiss.com/iqs/[Customer]_Licensemanager_2.0_Instructions_EN_v1.1.pdf

Thank you for the response, I got a hold of Zeiss, and they are saying since this is re-occurring, it may be an issue with the board inside the RDS cage...whatever that means. But usually, I can restart and it will connect or in a couple cases I have had to just delete the probe data and reconfigure the settings. But I do appreciate the feedback, Marcel.

@Hector Soto, @Zen Cat is absolutely correct. The Free Form Surface (FFS) feature is unique in Calypso in that it is defined solely from the CAD model hierarchy. You're on the right path in troubleshooting. Focus on that window on the right side of the feature window underneath the trash can icon. This is the "surfaces" window. That is where surfaces from the CAD hierarchy will populate to show where the FFS is getting its nominals. There are a couple of things to try. First, make the model surfaces viewable. Then, click once on the icon in the FFS that looks like a surface with a magnifying glass. That activates the "surface picker." Then, click on the surfaces in the *second model,* to the right of your first model. You should see those surfaces populate in the surfaces window. If any unintentional surfaces populate in the surfaces window, click on them in the list and then click on the trash can icon directly above the surfaces window. This may be enough, or you may need to also you the "CAD model comparison" function, which is listed in the menu bar under "CAD." That function can be a way to attach features to a CAD model retroactively. One other sidepoint: make sure to save the measurement plan after you've imported the new model. That helps Calypso write the model to the measurement plan. Keep us posted on your progress. I'm interested to hear how this turns out for you.

This did not work. It put the points in the base alignment again.

I recently had that same error on a straight line. I left it as a 2D curve and thought Calypso was just giving me a dumb warning message. When it came to physically measuring the curve, it didn't calculate any results. 3D curve worked. Just a heads up.

Problem solved. After aligning the Datasets ,just needed to copy the volume regions inside the same Part and then the Substraction works. Its funny that Zeiss Inspekt only allows some operations to be done in a specific way. Would be nice that the software were more flexible. If someone need further help related to the subject, feel free to contact me. Thank DWG for support with the alignment. Have a nice weekend.

wie Zen Cat schreibt, verwende für das Basissystem andere Messelemente, und erstelle anschließend ein Koordinatensystem aus deiner zurückgerufenen Ebene

Yup, stepped cylinder with ot (mce) is right for datum in ISO in this case

I tried it out and i also run into a problem 🫣 Is this the problem you get with MRR? "Every Element needs exactly one dimension of size for MRR" Found the solution: You need to build the linear size in a "special way".

ISO 2692 up to 2014 version is saying, when there is maximum material requirement on tolerated features, it changes them to combined zone. I cannot find exact paragraph in 2014, so please, if someone cares to share. And I'm unsure how this changed in 2021 release, except that it forces explicit use of SZ and CZ. EDIT: Paragraph 4.2.1, note 4 in 2014 version apparently

I am not sure if this has to be evaluted as a group, because there is no CZ modifier.

getTemperatureCorrection().tempKorrOnOff // check if temp.comp. is activated getTemperatureCorrection().tempKorrOn // activate getTemperatureCorrection().tempKorrOff // deactivate

Hello Martin, you are right, that's work. Thanks

I think you have to run it by characteristics instead of features.

Hello guys, I would like to ask if you could advise me on how to create this position in GOM Inspect 2022? I have a problem with MMR. Thank you for help.

Hi James, 418 Problem with sliding average <- I know this error on our CMM when the Vast head was defective. I think that is some kind of hardware error.

Hello, I am trying to do a condition to stop the CNC is the part is not well oriented on the granit. If I mesure just the point (F9) I have the CNC break (and the message in the setting) If I ran the whole program there is no CNC break. Do I miss something ? Slts

Problem wurde mit Servicepack 8.0.12 behoben. Nun wird auch bei der Helix die richtige Position angezeigt. 809066 Kreise, mit Helix gemessen, wurden in der GD&T engine berechnet ohne auf eine vorgegebene Kreisebene zu projizieren. Das konnte zu falschen Ergebnissen führen.

I'm looking for access to be able to set parameters for Temperature Compensation. I see that I can place parameters on which sensors to use and the coefficient, but I'd ideally like to be able to either turn on/off compensation via PCM, and/or set a part temperature via PCM.

Jake - a few things: The recommendation is 3:1 of actual to nominal points - so in a lot of your cases you have 2000 nominal points, so you should be collecting 6000 actual points. Sharp corners are extremely difficult to measure correctly because 99.9% of the time there are no nominal points on the sharp corner, so the software doesn't have a great idea on how to round the edge. Very rarely do true sharp corners exist, so sometimes you can "cheat" with an unknown curve to get it to wrap around the edge correctly. Most of the time I would recommend to just measure the segments independently (say you have a 200 point nominal curve that point 1-100 are the first line of the wall, and 101-200 are the second line of the adjacent wall; you can tell the software to measure 1-100; and then have another segment inside of that curve to measure 101-200). You also might have to limit evaluation (Nom. Vector Direction) right at the edge. You are possibly defining too many nominal points. My general recommendation is when you build them, tell it 25 points per segment.

A straight line should be a "3D Curve" feature. It seems backwards, but that is what it needs to be for this specific type of section line.

What sensor are you using for this? The methodology may be similar, but an active system like the Vast Gold or Vast XT can use a feature called flyscan which can be quite useful for things like rifling. As a general method, create a circle with a short partial arc strategy (enough to hit 1 land whether it starts in a groove or not, but not much more than that) near one end of the barrel. Set that strategy to use single points (you may be able to just scan based on the depth of your grooves and size of probe), and set your point density/spacing enough that you’ll definitely get a good point on a land, but not so many it takes forever to run. From this feature extract a point on the land (most likely using a max point of that circle feature). Use that point as the clocking feature in an alignment, so that one of the axes points directly through the land. Use this alignment as the alignment for your datum measuring feature, so that way the start of the strategy will always adjust to be on the land that it found previously. From here you have options for how to actually check the datum feature. You could flyscan a circle,do a 360 circle set to single points with a number of points equal to your land count so each point will hit a land(then rotate by the Twist RateXDistance to do another measurement further along the barrel), or potentially use a cylinder feature with several helixes matched to the twist to traverse the entire barrel scanning the land depending on what you need.
