[Ji...] Posted March 31, 2025 Share Posted March 31, 2025 Our engineers that get us cad models would like to know how to make them where we can use PMI. We can use sat or step for the cad models. I have had them try a couple of times and we are getting nowhere. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/22925-pmi/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted March 31, 2025 Share Posted March 31, 2025 Hello Jimmy, without the CALYPSO Version or any other info its hard to make a guess but i would start with the following from the release Info: Are your engineers using any of those CAD Software versions?

[An...] Posted March 31, 2025 Share Posted March 31, 2025 Assuming that you are using CALPYSO 2024, this is the list of PMI compatible CAD formats, from the CALYPSO 2024 Release Notes.

[Ji...] Posted April 1, 2025 Author Share Posted April 1, 2025 I have attached what we have. This is Autodesk Inventor, and it is all corporate will let us use at this time. Is there any tricks we can use to get it to do the PMI? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/22925-pmi/#findComment-129373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted April 1, 2025 Share Posted April 1, 2025 I have no experience with this, but i think that to use PMI you have to place callouts into model in order to save those informations. I made model as nominal, then in another document for drawing i was placing callouts and dimensions. I don't know Inventor, but there should be similar way as SolidWorks do - one workspace for models and another one for drawings. Also look for options while saving model - you should be able to select file version and possibly check/uncheck saving with PMI Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/22925-pmi/#findComment-129379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[An...] Posted April 1, 2025 Share Posted April 1, 2025 I will admit to being ignorant to when it comes to Autodesk Inventor, but it looks like you do have the option to output in both the CATIA V5 and STEP formats, but the versions not specified. If you have the appropriate import licenses, have you tried these? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/22925-pmi/#findComment-129381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ji...] Posted April 1, 2025 Author Share Posted April 1, 2025 We have tried step. If you do catia v5 how do you get it to stp or sab. I noticed on the CAD Cube PMI, it is in sab Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/22925-pmi/#findComment-129395 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[na...] Posted April 1, 2025 Share Posted April 1, 2025 Please sign in to view this quote. To get PMI with STEP exported you'll need additional license probably for every modeler out there. It usually named STEP AP242 or similar. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/22925-pmi/#findComment-129407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
