Hi Chaowei. I appreciate that you're trying out a new software, which can feel quite foreign and uncomfortable at first. I have many friends who are PC-DMIS programmers, and we have 'lively' discourse on the strengths and weaknesses of both software. Good news: All of the functions you mentioned are available in Calypso. 1. Arrays can be defined as independent elements by using the recall feature points option, or by using code to define a specific instance(s) in an array: circle-pattern(*) becomes circle-pattern(1), etc. 2. Clearance (safety) planes can be constrained or bypassed using the "block edges" menu. It is also possible to navigate by position points only (called 'move points" in PC-DMIS). However, this is rarely an effective choice, because one of the major strengths of Calypso is that it optimizes navigation, which saves loads of time for the programmer. Honestly, the main instance where I see people navigate by position points only is when they are former PC-DMIS programmers and their muscle-memory is screaming at them that they need to plan out navigation manually. 3. Coordinate system functionality is fully available in Calypso. Secondary alignments, best-fitting, and numerous other alignment types exist, and newer versions of Calypso make working in a particular coordinate system simple and intuitive. I encourage you to put time in learning Calypso. It will feel strange at first. You will miss the familiarity and muscle-memory of your previous software. However, I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the powerful, feature-based architecture in Calypso. It is the most capable metrology solution for managing customer geometry and for creating an effective handshake between the CMM and measurement program. Please keep visiting this forum and asking questions. It's extremely valuable for Zeiss to hear the experience of other uses, especially those new to Calypso. Best, Jeff Frodermann

OK then here is something - hope it helps zeiss-knowledge-base-id-1793299.pdf

这个方法在中国行不通.你也知道中国实行网络管制.还是要谢谢你马丁

Hello, When working with a lot of mesh data, I want to divide it into groups so I can quickly hide and show certain parts. How can I do this?

The mesh modeling tools in Solidworks allow surface creation from polygons, but it's laborious and probably not a solution here. In similar situations, I've had to redrawn the entire CAD, but I sometimes import the existing STL into Solidworks as a reference to sketch around.

Besides the more likely causes that were already posted above, one oops that has caused this for me was using an improperly qualified probe (was set to reference sphere 1 when 2 was actually probed), or a different probe was attached then what was defined. Or, a bent probe shaft.

if "Plane3"=true Does not seem to do anything. That is just saying the word Plane3 when in quotes is set to true. But unfortunately I can't think of a way or a syntax to interact with a feature. Not saying there isn't but I would have to dig into see if any syntax does exist.

Thanks Richard. I'll check that.

I had this issue before, I found I was not saving table files, if the xlt can't find the table files you don't get the data filled in. In my case I was missing the Characteristic table file, which means no Actuals, Nominals, Upper Tol or Lower Tol, Deviation (in some cases Exceed).

The times I have seen this, its usually one or the other for nominals values. If using a circle on a plane, check the Strategy for nominal values (My example works in the Z axis). If using a polyline in a plane, you also have to check nominal values. Regardless of the axis or angle of a plane, the polyline nominal for Z should be Zeros. This is why I preach about nominals and vectors being perfect.

I have tried this with Fusion, it did not help.

I don't recall who showed me, may have been Tom.

@Tom Oakes This has always been the holy grail for scanned 3d files but it does not currently exist (to my knowledge). I have tried the same, with no luck.

Hi Tom, I don't know if it's possible to convert polygon-based geometry to unfaceted/smooth surfaces directly. I've never had any luck with STL files other than for 3D printing. It's a pretty old file type. If you figure something out, please post it. Looks like your Patriots are back in the saddle. Should be a fun weekend of football. 🙂

not yet. thank you

We recently updated our Piweb data base to 2025 and when I changed the upload options to map the input parameters correctly the data on one of my computers stopped going to the data base. Can anyone tell me why?

Thank you!

Do you mean new login user?

How can I setup a user name on calypso?

Have you tried conversion in Fusion?

After changing your Location do logout and login again - that should work - i've tried it with english language and location and that worked after i logged out and logged in again

很抱歉马丁！我还是打不开这个链接！

在导航里面可以设置

I have a model that was an .stl file and was painfully converted to a .stp file, but is useless to me in Calypso. I have tried healing and it fails to complete process. Any thoughts?

Thanks - that seems to work - never thought about that. Everytime i've opened program and clicked on feature/characteristic then this window showed. I've tried out that and seems to work :-) ( Calypso 2024 )
