[Me...] Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hello, I wanted to know what is the manipulation to perform to display on the screen the dimensions of a part directly on its CAD model as the attachment. Thank you and good day.Capture.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 This is only possible if the CAD model contains additional PMI (product manufacturing information) data and if PMI is supported for the CAD format you use. If this is the case, Calypso should automatically display a new tab labelled PMI in the upper left after loading the model. There are also settings somewhere I don't remember (probably in CAD-> Settings) whether Calypso shall evaluate PMI information or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Load a CAD file with PMI. The PMI tab appears. Check what you would like to add to the program and down at the bottom click on Create Meas Plan. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 What type of files with PMI are supported by calypso? As i recall, you need to pay for a license for these files, i.e. solid works, catia, etc. that would have the PMI information. Are their other files that can be used that are already supported?

[Na...] Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Eric, The file types that are supported in Calypso are: ACIS, CATIA, ProE, NX, SolidWorks, STEP, IGIS, VDAFS, DXF, CATIA V, JT, Inventor, Parasolid, and SolidEdge. Also, yes, depending on the file type that you are looking to import a license would be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ri...] Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Just an FYI - STEP 242 allows for PMI exporting, and will import in Calypso with PMI as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Is the Training cube with the PMI saved some where in the Zeiss software? Where did that come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Nevermind, I found them. If anyone else was interested they are located in User/Public/Public Documents/Zeiss/CALYPSO/cad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Au...] Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. Hello Eric. I have a CAD file that our designer said are with PMI included. But it is a file .prt.19 How it should be exported in .stp file? I read should be in STEP 242 format? With what software I can do this. In our factory we are using Creo. Or what should to ask to designer when they are update the CAD file with PMI info? (it's a little bit complicated, it's from other country) Thank you!

[Er...] Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 We have not been able to successfully test how the step242 will work. I know the .step file is additional cost, and I don't know if the .step242 is in addition or if it would be used with the added license. When we got quotes about the solid works or Catia added licenses, the cost was ridiculously expensive so we haven't had the chance to use any PMI file formats yet. The biggest challenge we face is most of our files come from our customers, which use many different file formats, and trying to convert them to what will work with Calypso has been a challenge, so we have continued to use models without PMI.
