I first wrote it directly in the File Selection Formula (as shown in the post image), and then tried to create a variable in the pre-program parameters. However, both didn't work. Weirdly enough, today it works for one curve out of two in my program. They have exactly the same method of import.

I’m starting to get the feeling that the 2026 version (8.2.00) won’t be released and Zeiss will launch the 2027 version (8.4.00) instead.

This works elsewhere in my program. Short circle paths running each direction over a scribe, pulling a min feature point, recalling that data into a theoretical point and using that point as a clocking feature in an alignment, using that alignment to take a centered probing point in the scribe. however in this case the prob touches the part at the scribe line and travels until it falls off the part. If I drop the jog down to stop it, it takes a prob point where it stops. I don't know why its traveling once it makes contact with the part but everything appears to function the same as my other clocking feature that accomplishes something similar. One oddity I see is that even though the new alignment has the min theoretical point as its planar rotation, on my CAD it shows the the alignment trihedron still the same as my base alignment and shows the nominal point to be taken in that axis's 0 even though the feature is at about 45° from that axis and the probe makes contact in the correct location. The other feature I'm doing this on also as the same oddity but works fine. Has anyone run into this or have an idea of what could be causing it?

I didn't purchase this, but I was under the impression this was the way to purchase the digital cookbook: https://www.zeiss.com/metrology/us/services/zeiss-academy-metrology/training-details.html?id=8e6fffb3-0d51-409b-a9ed-9d7df603a842&type=E_LEARNING_TRAINING

Can you install the app on a PC?

Yes, I want a free digital copy and I want this back.

The app is only available through the Google Play store (no iPhone support at the moment). If you're on your smartphone, it is listed under the Books section, not Apps. For reference: https://play.google.com/store/books/details/ZEISS_Academy_Metrology_Cookbook_Measuring_Strateg?id=igUmDwAAQBAJ The PDF Levan sent was the free sample also found on this page.

Hello Chad. I have attached PDF of cook book. Hope it Helps you cookbook_measuring_strategies_en.pdf

I was informed that PDF copies no longer existed and that the cookbook is only available via the App store. A tragedy.

You should be able to tell them what you want and do not want without issues. Chances are that your original licenses had these "extras" you show and now maybe the time to weed them out.

Thanks Zen

Thanks so much Richard. Finally I understand what's going on now.

Notice that percentage is the same for each line. You can think of it as a percentage of the tolerance used.

Yes - it is available in digital format to newer students. I would reach out to your distributor to start the conversation. Please do not post or share this stuff openly. We've been begging for digital copies for a long time, and I don't want it taken away.

Say whattttt! It's no longer a physical book that I have to flip through? Who has a PDF copy of it that they want to pass around? I still have my copy from taking a class with @Tom Oakes many moons ago but a PDF copy and CTRL+F would make things a million times easier!

The 0.0757 is just math of (0.2318/0.2450)*0.080. Actual Position = 0.2318 Total Tolerance = ( Base Tolerance (0.080) + MMC Tolerance ((Actual Hole Size = 4.1642) - (Hole Size MMC = 3.9991) = 0.1651) ) = 0.2450 Base Tolerance = 0.080 .(M) = ((0.2318/0.2450) * 0.080) = 0.0757

Hello @ZEISS Admin Gather 'round, because I have a tale of tragic timing to share. Years ago, I climbed the highest peaks of your curriculum. I attended every single training class you offered. I survived the alignments, I conquered the probe calibrations, and I emerged a certified master of the coordinate measuring machine. But I was born in the wrong era. Back in my day, there was no legendary CALYPSO "Cookbook." We measured our parts uphill, both ways, in the snow, without recipes. Now, word on the factory floor is that every Level 1 rookie gets a shiny, complimentary PDF of this culinary metrology masterpiece just for showing up. Meanwhile, a decorated veteran of your institution is left out in the cold. This is a severe disruption to the spatial alignment of my soul. It is time to right this historic wrong. I am formally requesting that you grant this loyal graduate a PDF copy of the Cookbook. I don’t just feel I deserve it—society itself depends on me having these scanning strategies. Think of the global supply chain, Admin. Think of the tolerances. Do the right thing. Send the PDF. Warmest regards, A Calypso Pioneer Left Behind 👴

Thanks Ivan.I am scanning the minor diameter of Internal holes using HELIX path in the Strategy. I did read about the procedure to remove .M but I guess I'll just leave it there because it has the positional tolerance that I input. But I'll verbally instruct engineer not to pay attention to value that is displayed on that Row. I am still trying to figure out where did 0.0757 come from. Was it calculated or Measured.

@LEVAN LOMIDZE Slight tangent, but I advise not to apply MMC to threads. I linked a further explanation below, but you can find several more sources with a quick Google search. When measuring threads on a CMM, the most feasible approaches are either to capture the major or minor, depending on whether it is an external or internal thread (minor in your case). Both major and minor are somewhat irrelevant when focusing on the functionality of threads, since the PD is generally the key element. So potentially, the bonus you are seeing here does not correlate to the functional use and can lead to false assumptions. https://www.gdandtbasics.com/no-bonus-tolerance-modifier-on-threaded-holes/ I would still recommend learning about that .(M) line, as others have mentioned; it is possible to remove it, and the ZEISS portal has walkthrough articles.

RIchard Can you please show the Math. I don't understand what do you call "total tolerance" and "base tolerance" Position tolerance call out of the hole is 0.08 How is 0.0757 calculated.

Hi Richard. Jochen did good explanation and I get what you are saying but I'll just have to speak to the Engineer. Please look at my last response to Jochen.

I started with Calypso 3 years ago. Now I'm dealing with adapting to MCOSMOS. I have to say it definitely gets the job done but I can't wait to be on Calypso again.

Ok Jochen. I fixed the names. To recap: I.ll leave both Positions and just verbally instruct Engineer about what value to look at. So the actual position is 0.2635 as indicated in the Position Window. But Engineers read 0.0597 (RED BOX) because it is on the same Row where 0.08 is. So they think the deviation of 0.0597 is not that bad while in reality it's 0.2635 which is 4x bigger value.

@Guillaume TAICLET It absolutely works as I have done this with great success. Where do you have the code placed?
