I am unclear what you have tried that is giving you 60°. Did you measure a line or a cone? If you measured a line then what did you use to get an angle? Did you do the basic angle of the line?

I have not seen this before and am spit balling here. Is it possible that you have only defined a start or a basic alignment and have selected the manual alignment of the other type? I have not done that mistake yet and don't know what it would do.

given that circles 3, 4, and 5 are oddly distributed, I don't see a clear way to create a centerline. Surely there is more information in the drawing. I checked and the three circles cannot make an equilateral nor isosceles triangle. So it just doesn't make a lot of sense. We could easily put the three circles on a common circle. Then clock that common circle center to be the Z+ axis. Or we could use the center point of any two circles and combine that with the third circle to create a line that we could clock to. But you would need some more direction from the drawing to pick something. Heck, you could even do a bestfit.

In this particular part, Circle3, Circle4 and Circle5 establish a centerline. (Ignore the Planes that appear rotated, I am working with a legacy program that was never configured properly). The circles (3, 4 and5) are not on a Bolt Circle centerline; they construct a poor BC in my opinion (See Circle6 in the program). The zip file is a program, its small, no CAD model. All nominals are calculated to 8 decimal places. I need assistance to establish a proper centerline from the three Circles (3, 4, and 5). It's what the blueprint states to do. Any help is appreciated. Alignment me this_Rev J_Op15_10-15-2027.zip

How to fix SQL after a failed install. Ive had to fix SQL too many times after a failed Calypso install, so I wrote down what steps I took to fix it. The zip file contains docx and reg files. The reg file fixes some entries that get corrupted. As always BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY PRIOR TO USING. After re-installing SQL 2014, you should now be able to cleanly install SQL 2022.

I had a similar issue when re-installing Calypso 2018 on my laptop that was recently re-staged. SQL Server 2014 was faulting out with a Powershell 2.0 not installed. Turns out this version of Powershell is deemed a security risk and was removed from the Windows 11 entirely. Regardless, I used the 2017 SQL server express from the 2020 Calypso installation folder and as Lucas said above, a skipped over this and cleanly installed 2018. Props to Lucas!

Its called "General Data" in Smart Services Dashboard. Did you have it set up? You have to have Zeiss set it up for your machines. If not, you have to fill out the form on smart services website, Zeiss technicians will contact you, you'll have to install smart services service on each cmm pc, and then when you login with your zess account to smart services you'll see that dashboard for each of your machines.

I started out with Sheffield Measure Max, then went straight into Calypso 2015. Have done some PC-Dmis stuff, as the company I work for inherited a Hexagon Global, from one of our sister facilities. The programming on it were turn key, and the quality engineer at the time handled everything. I have only done some minor things since.

Hallo Thomas, in pcm gibt es kein if ... in .... du musst die Datei erst händisch einlesen: maschAktuell =getRecordHead("u_5_masch_nr") dirAbteilungen = "x:\Wellenfertigung\00_Kostenstellen" AbtList=list("20000", "21000", "22000","23000") defineFunctionStart("maschMatch") list1=readListFile(file1) maschCheck=false for i=1 to list1.size if getParameterNamed(list1,i) == maschAktuell maschCheck=true endif next i // oder kurz und knapp //maschCheck=executeCode(list1.asArray + " includes: '" + maschAktuell + "'") defineFunctionEnd("maschCheck") for i=1 to AbtList.size listFile=getParameterNamed(AbtList,i) file1=dirAbteilungen + "\file" + listFile + ".txt" if executeFunctionNamed("maschMatch") == true setRecordHead("u_abt", listFile) endif next i

If you can share those two files i can look into them. Changing versions can be tricky - i found two mentions about versions in both files ( inspection / inspset ) - "changeswi" and "creationswi" Also in "inspset" file there is dictionary of converted versions. Feel free to PM me 🙂

"the reference B is a theoretical line between the two oblique surfaces" According to ASME Y14.5, this is not interpreted as two oblique surfaces, it is only one area and that would be where Datum B is tagged. Jochen Heller's post shows a Datum B construction that would be between two entities or a "Feature of Size". One nuance: I would avoid saying"must have the datum tag in line with the dimension" as a standalone rule. The actual requirement is that the datum feature symbol be attached to the feature-of-size dimension. Being visually "in line" with the dimension is a drafting convention resulting from that attachment, not the fundamental rule itself.

Thanks for the links!!

Oh okay! I forgot you could specify the sensor when signing up. It's been so long since I took the basic training, hahaha. Thanks!

Thanks Martin. I did try that but still same error. I actually then just tried the "inspection" only and it still errored same error. I'm thinking maybe there's some security stamp on the file from the customer as they're pretty locked down there with the IT department. Maybe I'll try copying and pasting the contents of those two files from notepad into my version and not the files themselves. Who knows!

It is part of our corporate IT, not sure why they are doing it, hopefully it won't cause issues.

Zeiss provided the missing file along with many other files, this fixed the issue. Primarily it was a missing file, how it became missing I do not know, may have been from the installation or an update.

If you create an alignment to the feature at entry, you won't need position points. All you have to do is increase the Clearance Distance. If I wanted to approach the hole location you have, my alignment would be at the intersection of the center of the hole and the OD body. For an example, in the attached image, see Alignment Ref #2. Then I set the Clearance distance proportional to the Clearance Cube from Clearance Plane settings. Now you can navigate without collisions or CMM Position Points. With a proper alignment all of your vectors will be correct.

This is the basic path to CMM Observer files. C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CMMObserver You can use the file: ProgramDurationRecord.xml Parse it thru Excel and you can chart all the run time, up time, down time you need.

can you help me navigate to where the "information button" is? I'm not seeing it :(

ood morning, colleagues, I’m encountering something I’ve never seen before: when I click on "manual alignment," a notification appears stating that the machine is about to switch to CNC mode, and it won’t let me perform a manual alignment. If I accept the switch to CNC mode, the machine moves to a completely different location. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you very much.

Hallo Kollegen. Ich würde gerne mein Datenfeld Kostenstelle anhand der Maschinennummer setzen. Also ich habe in einem Ordner 4 Dateien die heißen wie unsere Kostenstellen. in diesen Dateien stehen Maschinen die in dieser Kostenstelle vorhanden sind. Aber ich bekomme es nicht zu prüfen ob etwas in einer Liste vorhanden ist. Also etwa so: maschAktuell = getRecordHead("u_5_masch_nr") dirAbteilungen = "x:\Wellenfertigung\00_Kostenstellen" file20000 = dirAbteilung + "\" + "20000.txt" file21000 = dirAbteilung + "\" + "21000.txt" file22000 = dirAbteilung + "\" + "22000.txt" file23000 = dirAbteilung + "\" + "23000.txt" if maschAktuell in file20000 then setRecordHead("u_abt", "20000") else if maschAktuell in file21000 then setRecordHead("u_abt", "21000") else if maschAktuell in file22000 then setRecordHead("u_abt", "22000") else if maschAktuell in file23000 then setRecordHead("u_abt", "23000") else setRecordHead("u_abt, "00000") endif endif endif endif Hat jemand eine Tip wie ich das machen könnte? Wollte dies dann in die inspection_start_pcm.txt einfügen damit die Kostenstelle immer richtig ausgefüllt ist. Vielen Dank für die Unterstützung

Danke!

@Jochen Heller es müsste angezeigt werden, wenn Du den Toleranzstatus deaktivierst (Tortensymbol zwei Rechts vom Zahnrad)
