Calypso 8.0: Planner - Simulation

[[Ri...]]

Just an FYI - Planner/Simulation will not longer simulate correctly if the model for your part is still set to machine coordinate zero (top-left corner). In the past, this was never a requirement, but it appears that it is forced in 8.0 now. 

You can move this at any point, it will not have any effect on your program if you do it before or after it is programmed. 

Before model is moved (hard to see, but essentially it just doesn't move). 

 

After model is moved. 

 

In the Measurement Plan Simulation - select Modify CAD Model - on the Positioning tab - select your CAD Model - enter the appropriate Translation values (you can always start with half of your measuring volume) - click Apply.

Perhaps in an effort to make the CMM behave more realistically and not move outside it's normal travel range, etc ??

Maybe, but it would be nice to have an option to disable it. 

In training, students have to use Simulation, and now this adds an additional step for a student.
