I did try the mirror dmis thing today. I mirrored about my final coordinate system in the xy plane and ran the program off line. It did in fact run upside down but the approach of the probe was...

I'll see if I can try today. I'm guessing it all might start in constructions with mirroring all of the features but I think I recall an option to mirror DMIS code. I'm guessing you don't have a cad...

Did you get an answer for this tolerance question yet? If not, here's my experience. The basic dimensions are already in the definition of your nominal feature. i.e. You've defined and saved to your...

Sounds funky. So you want to make a mirror of a program? I'm trying to think of a case where I'd need to do that but can't imagine. I've made a 2-up program (to check two parts per run) but not...

The thing I do in that case is pick up the through holes and make a best fit line out of them. Then build your coordinate system from the top of the part as your Z direction/origin, the OD or ID of...

You know you can't do an open-ended slot either...or make 2 parallel planes a feature of size (to use MMC ;) ). PCDMIS huh? Were you not given a choice on the switch?



I know of 6 people now......

You know Knight, I'm learning ALOT building my own CNC by following the Reprap project. RepRapWiki PWM (if you haven't found out yet) is Pulse Width modulation. In my little brain's understanding,...

Our company bought the Wenzel CNC CMM and controller. They bought a package deal, I guess, that included 3 days of training at Xspect Solutions' place out in Oakland, Ca., and a year of support....

You know, Rob, I haven't tried programming a part completely offline but I'd imagine if you're good with your methodology, it wouldn't be a big deal. I'm not real experienced at Open DMIS so I often...

Well, I guess there's three of us anyway. Yeah, so what to say. Well, for one, I get the distince impression that the guys at Wenzel and Xspect are learning this software at the same time as we are....

Anybody in here using OpenDMIS ver. 2.8 yet? Just would like to compare notes with ya. I'm a machinist 80 percent of the time and an inspector the rest of the time. I've been working on a Wenzel CNC...
