I would be more happier with mouse wheel like it's in Inspect.

Select your callout ( i usually select it with mouse exactly that line in flag ) - press TAB key to open side - go to Display section and you will find it there. I also unchecking "fill" on element to see it clearly.

I have bad news for you. This will not happen - as it would be problematic how to set default value for 1 click - you would say 1 deg but then 1 deg on big diameters would be not enough while on small 0.5 deg might be way to much. And to do relation between size of circle/step/number of points/speed would be way to complicated for implementation into software. I see your point - It could be helpful but..... Nope that wont happen.

Officially - there is no option to open Inspection plan from higher version Calypso in lower version. So going from 2019 to 2014 is not officially possible. Calypso is not backwards compatible. Unofficially - there is option but downgrading inspection plan by more 1 maybe 2 versions is very risky and not always works - as in inspection plan you can use newer functions that are not available in older software. As Jörg Apfelbach said - this method not always work - and backup is recommended.

Can you post a sketch of a tolerance? And features? It can be hand drawn, no real data necessary

I have a feeling I am making a big mistake by disagreeing with Martin. I am sure he will correct me, but if there is a basic dimension between datum A plane and the feature plane then profile will be different than parallelism. If the basic dimension is 5.000" and the distance between the two is 5.050", then your profile is going to be over 0.100"

This is kind of a long shot, but here goes - I have a GOM Metrotom 6 Scout (225kv). Currently running Zeiss X-ray Professional 2023 (with license). Everything was going smoothly, until recently. I installed a software to use for an industrial camera inside the machine, and was not successful in getting it operable, so I uninstalled the software. Now, our Gigabit CT adapter (for the GOM) and the Ethernet server adapter I350-T2 show "Unknown network, not connected." I can still turn on the x-ray source with the X-COM utility, but cannot initialize the source from within the X-ray Pro software (Error CT-0007 presumably because the software can't see the network cards). No amount of resetting the network cards from either the "Configure System" after "System Analysis" within the X-ray Pro software or even externally from Windows is yielding any result. I believe something with PVI Manager got messed up, as the X-COM utility did throw an error relating to the PVI software, but still functions. Can someone at Zeiss, or elsewhere, explain all of the supporting software for these machines (B&R Automation + licensing, PVI Manager + licensing, etc). There just isn't a lot of documentation on how it all works together, which makes troubleshooting this a nightmare. Thanks for any help. @Stepan Rumyantsev and @Jeff Penrod.2 for visibility at Zeiss if you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks I watched that video. How do you enable the color deviation? We are trying to get a flatness measurement but it shows up as .002 in the deviation when creating the fit plane then .012 when we create a GD&T check.

I'll consider this fixed. We happened to have a zeiss tech here something else whom was able to provide us with a solution. For anyone that might come across the same issue: The wbScanLink-Error was cause by somehow an additional sensor being checked in the sensor list. Linescan as well as the Renishaw TPx were checked despite us not having them: The other issue with the laser scanner was that somehow Calypso was connected to one machine, the ConturaG2_RDS, but there was a second machine profile that despite not being connected to, had the OSIS laserscanner set up and somehow it was drawing from that. We deleted that second machine and it went back to normal.

It's depends how precise your element strategy is are and what are your RPS and how are they distributed Plane / Line / Point is a general idea of setting up the alignment and it's correct as long as it matches the drawing If your results aren't repeatable enough, you might want to try iterative alignment

I would like to see a End time for each Stylus as its qualified in the standard Report (See image). I s this report capable of being modified?

Question on salary range...job posting range is $81,600 - $136,000. This all depends on experience. Contact: jesus.j.quesada.iii@lmco.com for consideration.

Re-establishing the base alignment, which is a fixture, did not help my situation. na_vor quoted my post.

New problem with a contura, wonding if anyone has seen. Just started happening, only thing new that happened is that IT changed the battery in the UPS. On startup there is a very generic error message: "wbScanLink-Error! Maybe its not installed correctly." After startup and homing, calypso doesnt recognize that there is a probe in the sensor. When I tell it to pick it up, it asks me to create a new stylus stystem out of a laser scanner. But, this is a RDS XXT with TL3 sensor, so I dont know why this be happening.

Hello Grant, please have a look at this video. Activating the color deviation with min/max labels is often a good approach to see why a GD&T result is worse than expected.

I think they can be show in CAD hierarchy as regular CAD components, maybe you can delete them there?

I would try and see if the Mitutoyo bottoming bore gage works. I have tons of different Mueller groove gages and don't trust them at all. We've scrapped a lot of parts thanks to them.

I have the free version of Inspect. I need to measure flatness, parallelism and perpendicularity on a part. Are there any videos on this? What I'm getting in the software is off from the real world.

thankyou.. i will give it a shot... so far Calypso 2025 has been the worse version in a long time... looks like they broke planner all the way back to 4.10... the movements are almost identical now that was in 4.10.

Google search: "When scanning a cylinder with a helix, using a Gauss filter at 15upr is a common strategy. However, if the scanning path is helical rather than circular, it is recommended to change the filter method to spline. The spline filter is advantageous for its end-preserving properties, efficient calculation, and good form-following capabilities. It is particularly useful in surface metrology for isolating form, waviness, and surface roughness from finer content such as instrument noise."

Hello, I am unable to generate an Excel report from ZEISS CALYPSO using the characteristic template. My goal is to combine multiple report datasets into a single Excel sheet, similar to process study data. The report only displays the header information (Measurement Plan, Date, Drawing No., Part No., etc.), but the characteristic results (Actual, Nominal, Tolerance, Deviation) are missing. Could this be related to the template configuration? Kindly advise if any settings or steps need to be corrected to include the characteristic results. Thank you in advance for your support.

This is why i never use helix, 🤣

@Ivan Servin.2 I think you can use "Form" to see devations on 3d line with restricting settings.

@Martin Jánský Technically yes. However, from my understanding, curves and 3D lines offer different insights. One significant aspect is the graphical representation. We end up outputting these points to Excel to produce a 2d graph. I was hoping to use a 2d curve to get the graph. With a 3d line, the best graphical option would be straightness, which only controls form, and the graphics do not offer the same insight. Also, and more importantly, is there not a fitting process that CALYPSO uses when recalling to 3d line? It will create the best-fitting line for those points, and in a sense, it will somewhat ignore the nominal points. Especially when outputting to straightness, since only form is restricted. Whereas the curve will output the deviation relative to those specific nominal points.

@Martin Jánský Oh, duh on my part 🤐 didn't even check the forum. Thanks for setting me straight!
