[No...] Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I'm currently adapting a few part programs to a more or less heavily modified version of the part on my offline seat. A problem I'm often coming across is to quickly edit the nominals of an existing touch point. I'd expect there should be a way as simple as open the point, click new position on CAD, click OK. Of course I can add a new point strategy and delete the old one, but that doesn't change the nominals. A workaround is to create a new point and fetch its coordinates with formulas, then change back to an editable field. But that's very time-consuming - and cumbersome. So am I just blind today or is there really no easy way to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Resources - Features Settings Editor - Geometry Nominal Data - Change the X, Y, Z nominals that you'd like to change. You can select multiple and type a number in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 In addition, you can open the feature, and click drag the point to where you'd like it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ro...] Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Note: This comment does not help at all or address the OP's question in any way...... Ive said it over & over that the best single tool in all of CMM-dom is the Binocular tool in PCD. I was hoping that somewhere in Zeissland that someone would see my comments and create a similar tool. Load a new and modified cad model in, open feature and click on the binocular tool. Point snaps to the new model along its current vector and all XYZ and ABC vectors are updated and ready to go. Its kinda like the comparison tool wants to do (right now the comparison tool does nothing more than change cad surfaces pink) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 The CAD comparison re-associates features with the CAD model. I believe it only works on 3d features though. I don't know anything about PCD binocular tool. I'm not certain how it would know how to correct vectors, other than guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparison works with planes and lines and points, but not all of them, and after that its a crap shoot if comparison will pick up the new surface to "turn it pink". I don't know how Binocular tool works, but it does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 None of those tools would have helped me in this case, I think. What I have to do is not just a small shift of the points, but there are large areas where the geometry is completely different. CAD comparison would surely identify the problematic points, but it can't tell me where the right place for a point is on the new geometry, nor could any other software tool. Because that would need REAL artificial intelligence. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
