STEP AP242 is listed as supported for Calypso 2024. Just make sure you are on the latest service pack, so that you have the latest version of the CAD Interop Server.

I do have the GEARACIS 9996/tcp in this file. Even tried reentering it a second time. Still getting the same error "ACIS socket already in use!"

We are working with NX. I recently had a problem bringing in a STP model where I get a message that my STP is not in the correct CAD format. Engineering has asked if AP242 will work with Calypso 2024, or if they need to give me a STP in AP214. I don't know what to tell them. Any insight would be appreciated.

I was able to confirm CALYPSO Service Pack 8.0.12 does restore the ability to edit and save the Compact Report header.

You will need a smaller reference sphere. As Marcel mentioned above, for a passive sensor, you have to run qual passive at least once. To do this, you have to have a smaller sphere.

Hello Zac, follow the link below. The issue is that your programs are on the network and are being shared by all your CMMs. The link to the knowledge base solution will guide you on how to setup your pc correctly. ZEISS Portal

I would avoid curves - mostly due unkown position and rotation - would falsely report crash. I would try to measure a circle with 6 points to obtain center - if it's not a problem to get close enough center, then use cirle, go to bigger probe radius, relatively fast scan speed hight density of points.

Go to Features > Circle Enter in XYZ Nominal Values where you want it to be measured. (Assuming X=0.0 Y=0.0 Z=0.100?) Nominal Diameter will be the 2x Radius distance to one of the flats. Create a strategy with 6 single points starting at 30°

Hallo Luke, gehe bei deiner Ebene auf Strategie, und dann siehst du oben in der Menüleiste ein Kreissymbol mit drei Punkten . Das öffnest du mit einem Doppelklick. Da drin kannst du dann ganz unten deine Kreismittelpunkt einstellen.

I would try to scan around with a couple of Curves, and use that in an Alignment from Several Curves; and then reference that with a 6 point diameter. Without Curve, I would scan the flats and try to use a Geometry Best Fit Alignment

Hello, I would like to know the best way to measure multiple parallel flats as a circle in order to get the runout from this to an outer diameter. The parallel lines rotate randomly per part around the center of the circle, so i cant just pick up each line and then recall into a circle. I am thinking of doing a slow circle path, and then using maximum inscribed, but am worried about how the filters would adjust the sizes, and i don't know how accurate it would be without any filters enabled. See attached photo for a easier understanding of my question. Thank you!

@James Therriault, what @Pat Bryant mentioned is spot on. When the (M) material modifier is used in a position characteristic, additional deviation is allowed as the feature of size departs from maximum material condition. An internal feature of size such as a hole departs from maximum material condition (and gets bonus tolerance) as the hole gets larger, and an external feature of size such as a post departs from MMC as it gets smaller. Although that's an important clarification, it doesn't appear to account for the .0036 difference of your characteristic between the (M) result to the unmodified result. @Martin Jánský seems to be on the right track. There's a lot of feedback from programmers about the confusing way that PiWeb reports this characteristic, even if there was an SPC-related reason for it during development. It feels messy and unfinished.

If A is in -X vector, then report TP|A only X and for TP|B only Y ( or Z i don't know )

Just curious about how anyone would set this up? I am in discussion with the engineer as in he believes that this part is in tolerance as i am getting OOT. I have been discussing this for a day and a half and i might be confusing myself, running in circles? I am setting it up as shown with alignment as A datum, all dims come from the A datum plane in the X axis. The B datum, all dims come from the B datum in the Y axis. In the two separate alignments i have for these i am using the A datum in the X and the Top plane as my Z. The same thing for the B datum alignment, i am using the Y for my B and the Top plane as my Z. When i use Best Fit alignment, i am reporting a good part, i explained how Best fit works and he is not sure of it. In my past endeavor's i used Best fit for a hole pattern like this all day, no issues. I see this as a Best Fit scenario, am i incorrect? Just because the hole pattern is of course the important part. Thank you in advance for any direction or if i am just overthinking this scenario.

It technically should create a best-fit for each segment, but it creates the best-fit for the entire curve, and then just slices it up based on the distance you set.

I thought that without datums it should show the worst deviation from N of ref. length chunks. I was trying it on our part, and it was working while only datum was rotational axis.

Does that only work in offline planner? If so then "Why Carl?"

Just recently this issue started happening to 3 of 5 of our machines. We'll be running a part and then just randomly this error will stop the program. It's really strange because it happened on the same day for all 3 machines, everything runs fine when we're not connected to the network, and it only happens from 8am-5pm when most of our employees are onsite, on the network. 2nd shift never has this issue and neither does first shift from 5am-8am. I do find it hard to believe it is our internet speeds since we've been at this site for years and have never had this issue. Then one day it just started happening.

You can use the Classic GD&T Line Profile with Reference, but it does not calculate correctly. It still evaluates the entire Line Profile, then just shows the deviation of each reference to the entire Profile. It doesn't behave the same way as a Straightness Reference.

Sorry it should be in Calypso forum, can someone transfer it please ? @administrator

Hi, if you have newer version of Calypso, then there is this characteristic. I know for sure it's in 2024 ( 7.8 ) On older you have to either create copies of original curve and remove corresponding nominals or select only one segment from feature ( if it's doable - not tried yet )

There is even a function in Inspect, so you don't need to edit the creation parameters individually: https://techguide.zeiss.com/en/zeiss-inspect-2026/article/cmd_cad_adapt_elements_to_cad.html

Hello Daniel, Which Software are you using? In Inspect you can select "Edit Creation Parameters" and change the selections for building the base elements to adapt to the changed locations and it will work due to the parametric approach. Depending on your elements this is just "re-click on the CAD".

Hi All, Is there an easy way to write a new program that is very similar to an existing one, but the Cad model has some extra features and some of the existing features are in different place or different diameter ? Obviously I know the 'normal' method which would be creating a new feature and re-name as the old one so the characteristics will remain the same. In PC-DMIS for example I can just open a feature and re-click on the CAD model and it will automatically apply the new coordinates and diameter etc. I know that there is a CAD comparison which never worked either. Any suggestions please ?
