[Ma...] Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I am fairly new to Calypso and am trying to experiment with PMI. I googled around quite a bit and couldn't find any information on this. Since I am the only one who has been trained to use the CMM software, I wanted to try out the PMI feature in Calypso. I have to make all the CAD models myself and since I use Fusion360 for my personal projects I want to use Inventor for the CMM. I tried to export a STEP model that I annotated and clicked the option for 242 protocol, but I can't get the features to be imported into Calypso. Is this just not possible, or am I doing something wrong? Do I need a specific license? Is PMI not supported from STEP files? I fresh installed, without changing any options I modeled a 1"x1" cylinder, added tolerances of +-.01", CAD format export, select STEP file, clicked options, selected 242, save. Went into Calypso, import cad, and loaded the step file. I went into the STEP file, and while I am not an expert on the format or anything I did see some data that looked like tolerances in it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I'm interested in working with PMI too. What Calypso version do you run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ri...] Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I don't think that Calypso supports 242 at the moment. It somewhat worked in 2018, but not fully, and now 2019 it is completely not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The 2019 release notes show AP242 is supported. But no step for PMIExtractPage1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ma...] Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 I am using Calypso 2019 with the newest update to Inventor, we just started up our CMM this Tuesday. I can save the step model and import the STEP into Inventor and the data shows up. I am guessing it has to do with no support for importing PMI with 242. I'm glad you found that page for us Tom, it is nice to see some kind of confirmation it is currently officially not supported versus chasing a carrot on a stick. Is there perhaps hope with Calypso 2020? It would be a fun feature to test out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
