PCM curve import


---
 Share

Recommended Posts

I'm having a problem importing a curve via PCM. I use the “Nominal Geometry Manipulation -> Read Nominal Values” option to load the curves I store in a folder. I created a variable in the program's input settings to update the path to the correct curve based on the type of tool being inspected. 
However, the path variable in the “File Selection” window (see image) only updates when I open the Formula window, not when the program starts. This prevents me from fully automating my program.

Is this due to an issue on my end? My other variables and formulas work perfectly.
Could this be related to the version of Calypso?

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I'm not certain how you have your presetting setup, but an FYI for Curve is that the Import to CNC means the following: "The nominal values of the curve and, if necessary, also its tolerances, will only be determined during the CNC run on the basis of the selected file."

I have a pretty complex PCM program that checks some "dimensions" and then determines what variant it is running from those "dimensions". The way it works for me is the following:

I have (3) check features. After those the first real feature has pre-settings.

In this case you can see that the slot1setNo variable is what is set to which set or variant this particular group of features belongs to. Inside of the curve it looks like this:

It will only change and read the new file once it is all executed, but I have confirmed that this works with no issues. 

 

Let us know more about how you have this setup, and maybe we can identify what is happening.
