similar parts

[[Da...]]

Hello. I have done a lot of program which are very similar to each other. The pattern is the same but they are only bigger sizes(bigger casting and distances between bores). I need to write separate flatness's programs for each one. Is it any method to copy one program with polyline and expand etc ?

With each program open (you can go back and forth by selecting the windows menu at top) you can copy and past features between programs.
If you had cad models for each , you should be able to use the cad model comparison tool (in cad menu) BUT.... running Calypso version 6.4, I haven't had any luck using that option. I used to use it back when I programmed for production CMM's (5 years ago) and it worked well most of the time on standard features but, now, the few times I've tried, no luck at all.

To add to what Owen said, you can paintbrush the measurement strategy for the plane from one program to another, but you will need to recreate the polyline paths or edit the x/y/z coordinates inside of the path to change it's size.

Yeah, so that is what I thought you can use brush but still is like a new program. I have just ordered a cook book, but I think I will not get it before Christmas. Can someone take a snapshot only flatness pages ?

Do you have PCM?

Unfortunately not.

So parafiles are out.......
Im wondering if you could use a miniplan system, but at the end of the day it would probably just be easier to do separate programs for each size.
