[Lo...] Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'm using Calypso 6.4 and trying to export points. We have done this a couple of other times without problems. This time the engineer wants the points in inch. I changed the prg to inch and re ran the prg, but the points are all still in metric. Also the x,y,z are not even close to where they are supposed to be relative the BA. Even the z heights dont make sense for My spatial plane.

[Ow...] Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I only export curve nominal's but, even in version 6.6 running in "inch" they still export in MM. You can read the txt points into Excel using the data import from Text/CSV function and then use an excel formula to convert the numbers to back to inch (#/25.4). If they're reading the numbers into another software (like cad software) you can just change the units in it to MM, import them and then if you want them in inch, change the units back after reading them in. Regarding everything bring way off, make sure you choose the correct alignment in the reference tab on the export menu.Also make sure "contact points" are chosen and not center points.

[Lo...] Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 When I look at the feature relative to the BA. I'm looking at the z heights. They are different from what is exported. When I export. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/17610-exporting-points-in-inch/#findComment-98796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 The release notes for the most recent service packs of 2018 and 2019 list several fixed problems with point export. Maybe some of them were already present in 2017? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/17610-exporting-points-in-inch/#findComment-98798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 If I'm interpreting your illustrations correctly, your first screen shot shows the nominal's (in inch, which exports in MM) . The 2nd screen shot is the actual's (MM) as you exported them (shown in the 3rd screen shot), and they (the actual's) most likely will be different, nothing is perfect.
