for anyone coming back to this post in the future, i believe the article Francis mentioned is this one: https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=672139 to find Services to see if SQL is running, click on the windows start icon, type in "services", and open the services app. For some folks, you may need administrator privileges for this step.

Here is a Knowledge Base Article on the topic. https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=443337

This also is a very nice article on using point cloud with multiple features: https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=1793221

I believe this is what you are looking for: https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=2699150

Does he need just file with nominals or actuals with vectors or graphical evaluation picture?

Hey Jeff, I use extract points usually in this case. Unless there is something elese I am missing in your post.

I have been asked to provide a point cloud. There is a point cloud special feature. but I do not understand how to use it. I believe the requestor wants to do some analysis within a third party software. Consequently, if there is an easier way, I am open to suggestions.

Fun fact: you can select curve spline in hierarchy and mirror it with button - perhaps can scale too. You can not select spline here so you have to select it at hierarchy before swithing to this tab.

This is theoretically possible with PMC but much easier here to scale and save the files needed, then you can clear and Load them with PCM.

Ah yes, here you go, wow its been a long time since Ive used this ..

@Chris Rotolo Are we on same page? Open Calypso -> menu CAD -> something with entities, where you can rotate and transform model. There should be on bottom scaling a model with number. If you need increase by 5% then you use 1.05. Not right now at Calypso and i am not sure how to obtain and send what you are asking for.

@Calyps089 Sorry, but you have a mistake there. If you want to have same result you have to use that Base-Plane -B- as rotation in space or at least as planar rotation and as X origin. Value on X,Y,Z is from origin of feature - for plane it's one of corner. Using caliper distance and "Center" is from center of feature, so if that -B- plane is not perpendicular to plane -A- and -C- then there will be always something.

can you share the ACIS code? if so I can make it into PCM ... 😃

@Chris Rotolo I wasn't talking about pcm, but manually by transform, there is scaling - so there can be a undocumented pcm for that perhaps.

I have and they are evaluated at center. I found the .004'' difference. X callout is center of base alignment to hole whereas caliper distance is center of plane B to hole.

Check the caliper distance evaluation. It could be set to Maximum or Minimum.

@Martin Jánský Wow, I did send come commands via PCM to the acis engine, however is a bit tricky. Can you share code, does entity:scale work or is it old entity:transform ? Interesting to know - I think I'll give it a go sometime later. Thanks for the info.

There is a .004'' discrepancy from caliper x distance vs just x callout. Caliper is using base alignment from plane(plane is use for planer rotation and zero on x) to hole x distance callout. I'm assuming just x call out of hole is also using base alignment so why the discrepancy?

Typically if you are getting a bunch of 99999s in a formula/result element just means the syntax is wrong or reading in a non-existing value. Here is a link to our result element variables for styli. I would double check your syntax. Sometimes the wrong caps or a missed period could be causing the issue. https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=522752

Hello Ryan and thank you for taking the time to review and replay to my question. I have created the intersections but I am not sure how I can check the distance which is oriented at an angle. Could you please help me on this? Thanks

Hi, you can check the result with I-Inspect (hold CTRL when clicking) or via the menu to create min/max labels.

@Chris Rotolo But Calypso is capable of scale model. Manually with window, but is.

@Seo Ji soo Wow that is great to hear you managed to get it to work by using the same VARiable name for 4 different values. Maybe is there a way to boolean check for : (getActual("Char").tolerState=="outOfTolerance")=false ??

@na_vor Thank you for the comments. Correct, you need to assign a Boolean statement and also each variable will need it's own unique name. Also I dont think 'goto' command actually works but I like the logic and you have the right idea. For that you might need to defineFucntion or just type out your code each time.
