Ivan Servin.2 might be on to something with "Own Geometry" option. The stylus will enter the hole, probe 4 points and determine its location. Then it will measure the hole. I set this example to 4 points, "Own Geometry" will probe 4 points initially prior to actual measurement. The "Search path" would have to be a small value, I would say about the same as the hole size to start. P.s. Don't forget to set a retract value small enough to allow the stylus to enter the hole.

Anything is possible with PCM. 🙂

If you would use some sort of fixture with ref. points, then you can create a program where it will select box for each part. Also there is an python app for OCR, you just select picture to read it - i have no success with this.

Is there a way in ZEISS INSPECT for the software to automatically recognize the cavity ID of scanned parts and then sort accordingly? Ideally, I'd like to scan eight parts at once, have the software identify and arrange them by cavity number (1 through 8), and then generate a PDF report with the cavities listed in that order?

Eww, good luck not breaking a stylus. I think the self-centering point would have been a good idea. If this were on a fixed-head sensor, I would have used a slightly larger stylus for a self-centering point. This would localize these holes and prevent any misalignment when using the smaller (0.3mm) stylus. This would be great, especially since you have so little clearance between the stylus and the hole. By chance, do you have any broken 0.3mm stylus with the stem still intact? I will sometimes use these 0.2mm stems to localize patterns before measuring with a 0.3mm stylus. The qualification would work similarly to a cylinder stylus. Zeiss also offers a 0.25mm stylus for Vast XXT sensors. I would consider this to increase the clearance between the stylus and the hole. Other sites offer a 0.2mm stylus. I would be less concerned about the stated stylus min and more concerned about the qualification results. And, I would also use some additional settings when measuring this first 0.4mm hole. I would use the Own Geometry option under the Meas. Ref tab in the Projection settings. Then, for the latter holes, I would use the Feature option in the same tab and relate them to the first hole.

Is there a way to run a .xml that can read the number of decimal places in the nominal and give the tolerance based off that value? Example conditions below: 3 place decimals: +/-.005 2 place decimals: +/-.01 Angles: +/- 1.0

If you select mesh, you can create evenly distributed points, which can be used for material thickness. Construct -> Distance -> Material distance Construct -> Point -> Equidistant points -> Surface points evenly Using CAD model would be better option

Let's say you can place User defined value. Perhaps this can be added to report just like dimensions. That would be as you described. But i can not check that until monday

Hi Martin; thanks for your research... No documentation. It took me a few attempts to even work out that the file index ´(x).pdf’ refers to the order of the defined protocols. So I need to open a call to Zeiss PiWeb experts in hope there is an (undocumented) feature...

I did not find anything. No info in Calypso program and no info in PiWeb. There is no text "PiWeb reporting" so it can not be renamed even manually

Moin, Wir haben mehrere PiWeb Protokolle für eine Messung. Z.B. Fertigung, Kunde, Übersicht ,Kurzform, Merkmalsgruppe X usw. Manche werden nur angezeigt, manche wiederum als pdf abgelegt. In der Endung zu *.pdf wird von CALYPSO/PiWeb automatisch die Nummer des protokolls aus der Auswahl "Definition Mehrfachprotokolle" hinzugefügt. Am Ende des Dateinamens wird dann "(1).pdf" für das erste Protokoll und "*(3).pdf" für das dritte Protokoll als Endung angefügt. Gibt es eine Variable in PiWeb die diesen index zur Verfügung stellt? Danke und Gruß Karsten

I found that using "edit_creation_parameters" is more uniformly than using "edit_properties" Here is example of editing creation parameters for diameter of a circle and TP of a circle with editing only tolerance gom.script.sys.edit_creation_parameters ( element=gom.app.project.inspection['Kružnice 1.Ø'], tolerance={'lower': -0.5, 'tolerance_type': 'two_sided_center', 'upper': 0.6}) gom.script.sys.edit_creation_parameters ( element=gom.app.project.inspection['Kružnice 1.Poloha'], tolerance=1.2) Here is example of edit properties - there is tolerance named differently - tol_dimension / tol_gdat gom.script.sys.edit_properties ( data=[gom.app.project.inspection['Kružnice 1.Ø']], tol_dimension_lower=-0.9, tol_dimension_lower_warn=0.0, tol_dimension_upper=0.9, tol_dimension_upper_warn=0.0, tol_dimension_use_lower=True, tol_dimension_use_upper=True, tol_dimension_use_warn_level=False, tol_template='') gom.script.sys.edit_properties ( data=[gom.app.project.inspection['Kružnice 1.Poloha']], tol_gdat_upper=1.4, tol_template='')

So our setup is like this: bottom IP is projected from ATOS before connecting.

Hallo zusammen, ich hole das Thema mal aus der Versenkung. Ist es möglich die Tabelle so zu editieren, dass die Stufennamen in Spalte 1 untereinander angezeigt werden und der eine Messwert daneben in Spalte 2? Bzw. ein zweiter Messwert in Spalte 3 usw... MfG Martin

Ich muss Größe und Position messen. Leider funktioniert die Option "selbstzentriertes Antasten " mit der Duramax nicht.

I am trying to measure the thickness at a few locations on the web of an H-beam specimen. I would like to create measurement points by entering their coordinates. Since these coordinates are idealized, the points will not necessarily lie exactly on the web surface. Is there a way to project these points onto the web surface (or snap them to the nearest surface) and then obtain the local thickness at those projected locations? I am very new to the software, so if you could explain the steps in detail, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Thank you, Did not know Geometry was an option. For the distance I used the second option, not familiar with curves in GOM Inspect, I do use curves all the time in Calypso so I'll have to spend some time learning them with Inspect

In the new custom elements feature (https://zeiss.github.io/zeiss-inspect-app-api/2026/howtos/custom_elements/custom_nominals_actuals.html), is it possible to create an element based on a point selection in the 3D view? For example, let's say I want to implement a RANSAC based fitting circle. I want the user to select points from a cross-section, rather than simply providing the whole section element, which I will then run RANSAC on. Is that possible with the current 2026 software? Thanks!

For TP i would suggest Geometry norm. For that distance - there can be many ways: line from centers of those two circles - then intersection line/circle with mode: curve section - then two touch point ( disc ) on selection and projected on section instead of mesh

Not actual part, just image off the web. Cannot show print. 1) Drawing has a true position of the small diameter, I created a cylinder and when I generate the Position it shows a 7mm deviation in the results. The cylinder diameter and X.Y location are less than 50 microns off. 2) How to get the radius to radius dimension? (blue arrow) Thanks

I can try it out on 2025 tomorrow. What are conditions for selection?

Automotive and sheetmetal could always create their planes used for sectioning using no measuring principle or As Actual, then section cuts could always be Reference geometry. I know of 3 programmers that made this mistake and this poster was on that road. And I still believe all section cuts should get alignments automatically...if some industry wants it otherwise then allow for a user preference toggle. Yea, yea, I know how to set us custom principles, but so do other industry programmers. Ill probably add this request to my voice.

Yall may have misunderstood me. Let's assume you have 10 programs that are all identical except they are different parts numbers....now the customer changes the tolerances. You can open all 10 programs and change the tolerances 1 by 1, or you can record yourself doing it once, then loop thru all programs and save them. When you record a tolerance change for a diameter or distance it works when you play the script, But if you record and run a tolerance change on a profile or position check it won't change it at all.

Oh, I see. I was using Recall, Not Recall Feature Points. Thanks!

I haven't thought about posting any. I have deleted more than I can recall from other forums.
