[Ia...] Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 On some programs, when I create a feature using recall, it will round the x,y,z coordinates to nice round numbers, instead of the actual numbers. I've seen it even when just taking points on the model. Does anyone know how to stop this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 You can adjust your rounding settings in Extras > Settings > Measurement > Nominal and change the rounding there. Also, if you are using recall you may want to consider unchecking Update Nominal Geometry if you would like to retain the original feature nominals while using recalled points.

[Ia...] Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. Thank you. That should solve this for all current and future inspection programs right? Also, do I have to worry about unchecking "Update Nominal Geometry" if I'm working offline and have never measured a part on the particular program?

[Da...] Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Both are ways to turn this on and off. I worked with a guy that was doing trigonometry to calculate the angle between Datum -B- to Datum -C- when they where not in line. Because he didn't know that you can use the Rotate to distance in Base/Start Alignment. Every program that he wrote where bad because it was rounding the Trigged Angle making the Base alignment bad. We had to delete 3 years of program. $$$$ This was a large Aerospace company. Calypso has quarks but non trained users are the biggest problem. I would say that most CMM programmers can't check there results. Bad input is bad output. CMM are only tools! Tools used wrong is why engineers don't trust CMM results in most company's. If you don't know then ask. There is lots of people in this community that can help you figure it out. Company's also need to invest in training and good training. Zeiss does a good job. Your training is incomplete you will need good GD&T training. Thanks DanCapture.JPGCapture1.JPGCapture2.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Th...] Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I have followed Daniel Bodily's guide but my CAD nominals are still in .0001 and not rounding to .001. Any idea why?r2.PNGr1.PNGROUNDING.PNG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Th...] Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I would like to still keep nominal and measurement results to four decimal places shown but have nominal picked from CAD rounded to the third decimal places. Reason is I have to manually round up or down the nominal in Characteristic tab.r3.PNGr2.PNG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Here's a link in the My Voice section for a suggestion to add the ability to turn off rounding as a system default. Vote your heart out. https://portal.zeiss.com/my-voice/softw ... a894aeb4af Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
