Cookbook / Feature defaults

[[Cl...]]

When a new program is created, and features are extracted. For example, you extract a circle and, in

the strategy, there are default point spacing, speed, etc. Are those values recommended default. Or are the arbitrary?

I know that the scanning speed increases as the diameter value increases. I think the dot spacing changes accordingly.

You can change the default strategies for various feature types under Resources-Save/Load Defaults.

I don't know if a new install of the software has any defaults set or not.

I was just curious why those values populated the new feature.

This is something I’d like to see added to Calypso, the writers of the Cookbook. When a feature is scanned and filter and outliers applied why can’t Calypso set the evaluation automatically based on the nominal of size, probe radius, etc… They have this information and they should be able to apply it and let the programmer change if needed.

Clarke,

I don't think the values are arbitrary, but they have definitely been set in favor of cycle time. I use custom defaults for scanning speed and point density.  The out-of-the box defaults are a bit faster and less dense in point spacing than what I've found to provide the most stable, balanced result for our processes.

How do you setup your defaults?

I have never bothered to do this, always edit on the fly.

I would be curious to see users ".all" (Save/Load default files) files to see what you are using for default setups.

Question:

If I load a default file, will it change all settings in my program?

I have many features/characteristics that use specific settings.

it shouldn't overwrite your strategies for already created features; it just sets them for newly created features.

in Extras -> Settings -> Measurements there are some settings to play with.

in Extras -> Settings -> Variable Strategy Editor, you can also create a list of rules to assign different strategies for features depending on their dimensions, e.g. "if the length & of this cylinder is less than the diameter & under 5mm, use 1 circle path" or whatever.
