[Do...] Posted Monday at 05:14 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:14 PM How do I correct the vector direction of these arrows so that they show on the screen as being perpendicular to the edge they are measuring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ri...] Posted Monday at 06:42 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:42 PM (edited) Edit the "Norm Angle". Looks like it should be 270. Edited Monday at 06:42 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm angle is correct - at least it should be 0 or 360 - it's telling in which direction is Z axis of feature pointing. Green arrows are measured points - are those recalled measured points?

No, the actual direction that the probe travels is perpendicular to the edge that it is measuring. It is just the on-screen image that shows the vector as being off. Not sure why it shows different than it actually travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ca...] Posted Tuesday at 02:14 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:14 PM In evaluation what type of point is set? My guess is you will want plane point and it looks like touch point could be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Cl...] Posted Tuesday at 02:49 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:49 PM (edited) Is the line constructed from two points? Or is it a measured line feature? If constructed from two points, go into the evaluation settings of each point and change it in the drop-down on the lower right.

[Ma...] Posted Tuesday at 04:49 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:49 PM What is that "Line Auto Path"? I saw a normal one, where you can define own start/length of a path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Do...] Posted Tuesday at 04:55 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 04:55 PM Please sign in to view this quote. The "Line Auto Path" is what is in the measurement "Strategy". Instead of it being two individual points it is shown as a "Line Auto Path" but since the machine is not capable of scanning, the line is comprised of two points with a step width of .102" in between them.

[Da...] Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM It would be interesting to see a circle with 8 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Do...] Posted Tuesday at 05:27 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:27 PM Please sign in to view this quote. Here is a circle from the same program. It has the same issue. The probe physically travels in the correct direction (normal to the surface) but on screen the actual points shown appear normal to the X,Y,Z coordinate system.

[Dr...] Posted Tuesday at 06:05 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:05 PM Hi Please sign in to view this username. , which version of Calypso and service pack are you running? You've mentioned it's an older one from before the era of caliper distances. You can find this information on the lower-right corner of the main menu or under the "?" dropdown > "About". There were some Calypso versions where service patches were released to address normal vector display errors through the ACIS engine. ACIS is like the graphical renderer for Calypso and though it's technically "its own thing," it's very closely intertwined with Calypso. If an ACIS bug is the source of this issue rather than anything in the programming approach, the solution could be as simple as getting a service patch. If you're already up-to-date on your version though, it could be an uphill battle. For one, very old Calypso versions are out of official support, and second, knowledge of how ACIS and Calypso interact isn't something that very many people have.

[Do...] Posted Tuesday at 06:40 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 06:40 PM Please sign in to view this quote. I am running Version 5.6.0000 (26.07.2013) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Dr...] Posted Tuesday at 06:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:53 PM Please sign in to view this quote. Interesting, that might give us a path forward. On the first service pack for that version (5.6.0400, don't ask me why Zeiss does their service pack numbering the way they do), there was a bugfix entitled "10504: CAD Model vector corrected". If that is indeed what you need, it'll have been implemented in every 5.6 service pack after 5.6.04; ideally we can get you up to the fully updated one, which I think is 5.6.24. The next question is where to get that service pack, and admittedly I'm at a loss here. It's not on the Zeiss Portal, but I'm willing to bet someone within (or without) Zeiss has a copy. If you don't get a response from a Zeissian here, I'd recommend reaching out about getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Da...] Posted Tuesday at 07:02 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:02 PM My guess is that the Renishaw touch-trigger probe is causing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
