In other words if I am starting at point 1 and ending at point 1000, how do I swap to change its start and end location? Making point #1 point #1000s coordinates.

for additional reference, this is a single 2d line in the CAD. I know the trick about selecting segments in the direction you would like to scan, I need to know how to change directions on a single CAD line. 

TIA!

When evaluating a plane vs. a Freeform Surface with the exact same plane points recalled.  I am getting different values.  the difference is small but important in my measurement.  I am having a hard time wrapping my head around why they would show different FORM, sigma,  and min/max point.

What about freeform seeing a flat surface makes it calculate differently than the plane feature calculating a plane? 

Why are sigma values different?  Is one giving me the "sigma of a plane" and the other giving me the "sigma of an arbitrary point cloud"?

NO NOISE

both are from the same scan.. bottom one is the actual scan, the top with the noise is when i recall it. 

The solution so far has just been going back into "recall feature points" and redraw my box. 

Is there a way to stop this from happening?

i am looking for a way how to obtain circles from 2D curve which was measured as 16 rotary divisions.
I wanted to quickly scan a groove, then later obtain dimensions.

For width i was able to just intersect curve with a theoretical plane and report 2 point distance - which worked on division without problems.

For circles i have no luck.

No PCM available - any hints?

Thanks

Good morning everyone,

Do you know if there's a way to assign different speeds on the same curve?

Thanks a lot.

I tried to request the Z displacement of the curve by applying a best‑fit alignment on the curve feature, but this led to significant deviations, on the order of several millimeters, even though the machining allowance was practically zero.

What would be the correct strategy to reliably evaluate the Z position of such a curve when the point vectors are not well oriented along Z?

Thank you!

I'm wondering if any of you did the Zeiss Calypso Curve eLearning downloadable training and what you think of it, or if you have suggestions of YouTube videos that you found helpful.

I need to check this curve on a part with a taper, 2 different heights and different "diameter".

Do I go:

2D Curve Nominal Data - Modify Nominals - Nominal Geometry Manipulation - Modify Nominal - Translation - Length

and enter the amount to change the size?

Regards.

Ich muss an einem Bauteil eine Segmentierte Linienform messen.
Wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe, muss ich das Linienprofil in 10mm große Bereiche stückeln und jeden Bereich für sich einpassen.
Wie setze ich das in Calypso um? Ich kann das unter Linienprofil auswählen, die Einpassung wird dann aber nur auf das ganze Profil angewendet, nicht auf das gestückelte Segment.

Gruß,

Matthias

What I'd like to know is, is there a way to add something to the naming of the ASCII text file/raw data that will keep the files from getting overwritten.  When using "Resources>>Name for output files>>...for this Measurement Plan...you can add fields or header info so that each pdf. is named differently with PCM Syntax. I tried doing something like this to the text "ASCII" file, but it didn't work. I copied and pasted what I have circled in green on the attached excel file, but it didnt get the "incremental part number" it just added what I pasted in the points in file. I don't know if there is another way to get the individual actuals of the 360 or so points that the curve scans.  I know I can get the point to the pdf instead of the form plot, but that's not helpful if the engineer's goal is to convert the ASCII-text file from Notepad to excel and plot it in their evaluation excel file. Parts spin at high speeds inside this cam shaped from so they want to see wear patterns.

Using a 1mm sphere probe on a Calypso G2 with RDSXXT.

So I can go around and tackle cutting sections like this cam lobe for instance and choosing the spline it creates to measure 2D curves. I did (3) separate curve scans and recalled points into one compiled 2D curve. When I look at the graphic, it looks like the measured points (green line) and nominal points are center of ball? The small dots near lobe surface are the deviations. With the form being around 2mm I'm assuming/guessing this has to do with center of my 4mm ball?? Not sure. The profile of some of these lobes I measured on Adcole machine and the form error is with "a few microns". I've played around with the digitizing on/off and clicked stylus correction box but it just errors out the software. Any clarity as to what I'm looking at would be appreciated.
