I've used it in the past but not so much anymore. Every time I use the navigator function I see crazy high runout values on cylinders which is obviously in error since those runout errors disappear when I turn off navigator and re-measure. Not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong on my end when using navigator but there's no question about results when I don't use it so I just leave navigator turned off.

Thanks for your input Clarke, it's much appreciated. Funny story, when I had asked why we do not have a best practices procedure, the response I received was "because it would be an auditable document."

Thank you Martin! That's what I thought I have to do but was hoping there is an easier way. 🙂

With new model you would need to align new model to correct place ( according to datums and previous model position ) Now it woul be better to create new sections on new model and make new curves, than editing old ones

I would remove that alignment picture from report page. Or you would need to create coordinate alignment ( 1x nominal / 1x actual ) -> create part alignment by them -> display roundness in that new alignment

It is mostly profiles. The finished part has no taper. My current program is for finished part. On the Hobbing operation, there is a taper, so it would have different nominals for the profiles measured at 8mm and 15mm. I have a CAD model with the taper. How do I modify this program the quickest to use the new CAD with the taper and different nominals? I'm new to curve, have not had training yet, so I'm not sure what the steps I have to do. If I load the new CAD model, do I need to create new sections so the profiles will use the new nominals?

I don't think you can create project template and export that as package. You can do this way report templates, table templates, result templates and keywords ( also export to qdas and other ) Created project template you can freely copy from stored folder.

And multi-selection across layers, idea already open: https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/4912-vote-please-autorun-layers

I do see how that would be a nice feature to have. I would suggest submitting a MyVoice to the CALYPSO Team. How to Submit a MyVoice Enhancement Suggestion

Thought experiment: Imagine you have a perfectly round circle. You measure its diameter with LSQ and get exactly the value you expected. Now imagine you squeeze the circle into a symmetric ellipse, where the width increases by the same amount the height decreases. If you measure this ellipse as an LSQ circle again, what diameter would you get? Answer: Exactly the same as before! If you squeeze the ellipse even further, maintaining the width/height ratio, the result stays the same. This is the effect of the LSQ algorithm. If your circle is evenly deformed, you might not notice any difference in diameter.

I agree with Antonio, Step-by-step play function is very important (often used) and without that is scripting more difficult´. Please come back with this function. Thank you. Robert

Is there a command to rotate an RDS with CAA to specific A/B angles?

Thank you for your answer, now I found the cause. In last version i select firstly all the point in the naviagtion and then click to export - geometry - csv. and it worked directly. after the update, i have to select to points after I opened the export windows ( the selection before is not taken over somehow). So i could not export because i didnt select any points.

LSQ is just an average between the high and low, if you were to switch your diameter evaluation to outer tangential and then inner tangential, you'd be able to see the difference. you could also create a 2 point diameter characteristic that would show you where the high and low points were on the part.

Using Calypso 2023. We measure various bores and outside surfaces for diameter as well as roundness. Recently we had a part where the roundness didn't agree with a manual measurement(difference of about 0.004"). The manual measurement was verified by myself as well as a supervisor. When measured again on the CMM it was almost exactly what the manual measurement was. The diameter measurement was exactly the same both times. I ran a roundness check on the probes using a ring gauge and the results were fine. I checked the probes for damage and nothing I could find. I checked to make sure that none of the probes were loose and they weren't. I'm using LSQ for an evaluation method on the circles, but when the graph for roundness is pulled up the evaluation method is Minimum Feature. Two questions; 1)What could be the cause of the difference in roundness measurements that doesn't affect the diameter measurements 2)Is there a way to change the evaluation method on roundness measurement

I tried building different alignments and switching them and it changes the orientation under inspection details for roundness (inspect 2026). The coordinate system symbol is still the same but the circle is clearly moving relativ to it, when switching alignments. Btw. you can change the base coordinate system of the cad in inspect. You should do it before anythig else.

I struct with exact same issue now ( Im using Gom inspect 2020 ) I tried to create project template and export as packages. I imported the package to targeted project and nothing happens. What am I missing here ? I was expecting the importing of package will bring up all dims and report pages to the targeted project. Help me out here. Please.

Dear Programmers, I am looking for a CMM measuring solution for ground outer diameter measurement. Requirements are the follows: - Konvex 0,003-0,006mm -Length of convexity is 20±1mm. Simmetric on 30mm long cilinder length Question is the length measurement opportunity. If do anybody has solution for this, please share with me. Thanks in advance

Wenn das Teil 100% rotationssymmetrisch ist (alle Schlitze identisch) könntest du sogar mit dem übergroßen Taster ohne Selbstzentrierung einfach einmal 360° ums Teil fahren (Kreis) und dann mit Min/Max-Koordinate den Tiefsten Punkt in einem der Schlitze bestimmen und danach erst mal grob rotatorisch ausrichten. Danach muss natürlich noch eine Feinausrichtung an den Schlitzwänden folgen. Das hätte den Vorteil, daß der Bediener beim Einspannen überhaupt nicht auf die Orientierung achten muß. Das funktioniert aber nur, wenn auch die restlichen Messungen in beliebiger Orientierung gemacht werden können (also z.B. wenn nur -Z-Taster verwendet werden).

@Keith Forche die Programmierbaren Stops baue ich wann immer nötig ein, wie gut es dann umgesetzt wird (Produktion ist immer im Stress und hat keine Zeit) ist leider der Grund, der immer wieder für Probleme sorgt. Das selbst zentrierende Antasten finde ich gut (keine Ahnung warum ich nicht daran gedacht habe, obwohl ich es bei anderen Programmen verwende). Werde ich gleich mal versuchen, vielen Dank! @Clarke Gilbertvielen Dank für den Tip, ich werde auch in der Richtung recherchieren.

Hello, I created a User Defined Table Format, and I wanted to use this format to export results. Also, I need to export the results in different alignments. For now, I use a script that changes the alignment and exports the table related to the alignment via report pages in a new folder, and merges the CSV files into one file. I have already have the script and am using that with manually. But I need to make this process automatically using Kiosk. When the Kiosk is started and after the selection of a template for a reference Kiosk going to do photogrammetry and scan, and the polygonization, and calculates. After this, the kiosk normally closes, but before the kiosk closes itself, I needed to call the script to see the results in a CSV file. Also, with the template change required script will change as well. I can merge the scripts and select the related script according to template name, etc. It won't be a problem, but how can I interfie Kiosk before its close? I tried using the Kiosk table export formats, but I couldn't implement a user-defined table format that supports different alignments. This could also work.

For more obscure stylus configurations that aren't present in the Stylus System Creator default components list you can leverage the "Generic" components to build any styli you wish. This components can be edited section by section to achieve the size and shape needed. Just make sure that you always finish with a stylus (not a generic sphere). For example I have created L-stylus M5, DK1.5 L60 626115-5000-681 in the attached SSC file for your reference. I built it on an adapter plate and extension but I hope this gives you an idea of how to do this yourself. You can also request a custom file as referenced in the KBA: SSC - .scl Import into Stylus System Creator (SSC) L-stylus M5, DK1.5 L60 .ssc

Thanks Chad & DWC. I am not using any python script or any other data manipulation platform. We are thinking to introduce down the road once we upgrade to Calypso 2025. I was in assumption like it's just replacement of excel folder with .xlsx compatibility.

Thanks all for the feedback everyone. All great ideas. The down-and-dirty method might get me by in a pinch, but I eventually want it to be more optimized. That's where I may try the ladder suggestion. Thanks again!

Hi Jochen, thank you for the advice, so in the end I solved it by adjusting the global coordinate system together with the designer, since the Inspection Details only display that one.
