Is it placing the RT in the location of the circle you are creating? If so, you may need to change the values for the circle to better match where you want it on the table (Step 8).

Hi Michael - Unfortunately, still no updates.

Yes it does. But as Richard pointed out, in this case it's using the origin for its' calculations from the center of the plane, not the best-fit center of the bolt circle. If you simply offset the starting pointing point, you're still using a pre-defined starting point rather than the best-fit center of the bolt circle. Consequently, the offset method will tell you if the bolt holes are good themselves, but the nominals/actuals won't be an accurate representation of the best-fit.

I want to add the first few characters of each characteristic name (up to the first space character) to a column of the chr table file. I know that generateTableColumn() iterates through all the characteristics and calls a user-defined function for each of them. But how can I access the name of the currently processed characteristic from within that function? From the post settings of a characteristic I can get the substring I want with the following command: strElement(1," ",getActual().identifier) But of course this doesn't work anywhere else as getActual().identifier then no longer returns a valid name. In the end my code needs to run from an external PCM file, so I need a different way to get that characteristic name. Any ideas?

Great tip, thank you! How do I recall the lowest -Z point?

You can identify features too small to probe by scanning over the area and recalling the lowest -Z point from the scan as the location of your dimple. This strategy is taught in the Zeiss expert class specifically as a way to locate a clocking feature with an unknown orientation

I am not sure if there are any differences in UI of Calypso, but for nonmeasurable features you select it as "Theoretical feature" or if there is an feature, then use from construction menu ( offset plane, ... )

On new GD&T i can not do that. I believe it's either intersection C-D or your projection

Whether this is actually a major functional breakthrough...?? The main problems were performance, 3D models of all CMMs, 100% detection of all collisions, measurement range overshoot with RDS XXT, memory leaks, and a whole host of other issues. From Release notes of 8.0.16: 795786 In the CAD simulation, collision detection is now set to very high accuracy by default. 803828/809372 Curve with a turntable. In the CAD simulation, the turntable is rotating in the wrong direction 817080 CAD simulation. Contura G2 does not work directly with XXT. 818704 The wrong stylus is displayed in the CAD simulation. If a stylus system is present, it will be displayed; otherwise, the (stored) reference stylus system is displayed. 823312 URDF files and the faceting of the button simulation have been revised. The display and performance of the CAD simulation have been improved. 862756 The CAD simulation does not work properly if file paths contain special characters, such as the sharp S (ß). 863099 An incorrect position in the CAD simulation during the calculation of the measurement range in the Z-direction has been corrected. 867088 The Prismo 16/24/10 was not displayed correctly in the CAD simulation

Thanks!

Select both planes and add them into element group. This group can be evaluated as CZ

You have to change a strandard into Geometry instead of ASME or ISO. TP want's to use circular slices and if you don't have more than 180° then it fails ( i am not sure with angle number )

Goodmorning, Im not able to measure the true position ABC. It does fit a cylinder and it shows a diameter. Why am I not able to retrieve an true position? Do I have other ways to measure it?

Good morning, I have problems with measuring flatness CZ for two planes. I created two separate planes, and used fitting elements. When I select both of the planes and go to Quick GD&T im unable to select the CZ option. How is this possible and how can I resolve it?

Ahhh, Ja das ist natürlich eine mögliche Erklärung! Wenn für eine Datei ein dynamischer Pfad erlaubt ist und ich anbiete die Anzahl auf n-stück zu rotieren, dann gehört logischerweise dieser Pfad dazu und nicht nur der irgendwo hard codierte Pfad. Nun: Software aus den 90igern 🙂 Gut, dann muss unsere IT diese Verzeichnisse lernen zu bereinigen. 😇 Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!! Gruß Karsten

Ich habe eine die Qualität ist nicht die beste von Seite zwei Uebungswuerfel.pdf

Moin Karsten, das ist auch mein Gedanke von Herbert. Zeiss überwacht nur das ihm bekannte Verzeichnis. Wir hatten immer max eingestellt. Seit wir auf 8.0 sind ist diese Einstellung Global und kann auch nicht mehr begrenzt werden.

Hello Norbert and Bruce, Thank you very much for the data. Perhaps someone also has the new drawing of the cube with GD&T. Thank you very much.

Good morning, Mesh like down below should be sufficient I think. The tolerances are true position 0.35 ABC and 0.2 A. For diameters its +/- 0.15.

No, that's a scan from an old training manual I made ages ago. It was also made way before the new ISO GD&T rules came into effect. 😜

Unfortunately surfaces of narrow inner geometries are always a problem. Not only is it difficult for the scanner to "see", but you also get disturbances from unwanted reflections, especially when the surface is not matted. You can try using the special scan mode for reflective surfaces (I think it's somewhere near the exposure settings), but it will make scanning slower and I doubt it will produce a more complete mesh. It just smoothens out a bit the typical artifacts caused by reflections.

Hallo, könnte sein das die Anzahl mit den 50 Dateien nur im Ordner "idmeaspoints" überwacht wird. Du schreibst ja die Dateien mit "Ausgabedateien für diesen Prüfplan" in irgend ein Verzeichnis welches Calypso ja so nicht bekannt ist. Ich nehme an das Calypso das nicht überwacht. VG Herbert

Moin Kollegen, CALYPSO 7.4.24 Wir haben das Ablegen der Messpunkte für die nachträgliche Auswertung aktiviert. ( Vorbereiten->Ergebnisse auf Datei ) Dabei lassen wir die *.ZMP Datei in einem Dynamischen Pfad ablegen. (Mehrfachprotokoll->Ausgabemedien für CNC-Ablauf ->) Nun wird das Limit für die Anzahl der abgelegten *.zmp Dateien, bei uns 50, NICHT beachtet. In den Verzeichnissen liegen hunderte Dateien anstatt maximal nur 50. Haben wir etwas bei der definition übersehen oder ist das einfach nur mal wieder ein Bug? Beste Grüße Karsten

Hi, as Richard mentioned you can try via relief evaluation. But typically a chamfer correction is compared to a relief much more bigger. It could happen that it´s not possible to visualize in the profile chart in a useful way. If so, you can try either with contour measurement equipment. Or separately with CALYPSO tools.
