Cloud to CAD Graphic Report, CAD Curve is not at the right place
Hey guys, I'm having another problem.. I have a CAD Curve (intersection) which I scan and report to a graphic.. Problem is the CAD Curve is not in place on the graphic report like when CAD is not synced.. I have a CAD sync added to program after dcc alignment
Programming circles
I've noticed that sometimes when editing a program, a strange function appears. For example, I want to add holes in the middle of the program. So I use the “pinned” function to repeat the addition of holes, set the first one, validate and move on to the
Can multiple probe assemblies be used inn one program?
When adding a command to get probe assembly into my program, CMM Manager finds conflict with this. When simulated, it just continues with the probe used at the start of the program. This happens when executing also. V 3.6.1.4184 TP200B with SCR25 probe
Changing Reference Frame Recall Issue
Still in the process of implementing a system for my CMM and programming and organizing. I had started using my CMM labeling my fixutres one way, then realized that was going to get too confusing so changed my system. I have an "L" chaped bracket I use
VB Script Reading Text File with UTF-8 BOM Encoding
It was brought to our attention that reading the contents of a text file via VB Script (as described here - VB Script - Read and Write Text file using an Array (qxcmm.com)) will be problematic if the text file encoding is UTF-8 BOM. This BOM encoding
Empty Cloud as result from 2D-Scan
Hey guys, we just got a License and I encountered a problem. I created a section, picked the contour, created a spline and added to the cad. Then I select the cad curve within a 2D Scan.. The resulted Point Cloud is empty.. Did anyone had this behaviour?
Flatness/parallelism
Hello, I am still surprised by a measurement result. It concerns flatness and parallelism. I do not find it normal to have a parallelism defect on a plane which is lower than its flatness value.
Increment Movement ignores inactive Axes
Hey guys, I noticed that even not activated Axes are included in the Movement.. In the Picture it should only move in Y, I then have to change Z Value to 0 to achieve this..
Difficulty selecting 3D CAD geometry for Measurement
I have been a CMM-M user for 13+ years. And I have sometimes had problems getting CMM-M to select the correct 3D CAD geometry when clicking on a feature. The most problematic are Cylinders and Cones..... Sometimes CMM-M has a pop-up that asks what feature

Cannot unlock points
I am having an issue with the "lock points" check box, being greyed out, and not allowing me to un-select it. Anyone have any pointers? For now I will just delete the feature and re-measure it. This is the second time recently that I have run into this.
Groove Teach/Scan with Intersection
When teaching or scanning a closed intersection anyone experience same problem as me? If selecting start and endpoint you cannot go all the way round cause it inverts the selection at some point resulting in a very short section. When using the closed
made a program in manual mode wanted dcc
I wrote a program in manual (teach) mode because i have no CAD and only a blueprint and a part. I would expect there to be a dcc function? I went into run mode and instead of doing it automatically it asked for me to take all the hits. I don't understand
Nominals not reporting correctly
So, I just experienced an issue that I have never seen before. The nominals in my cloud hits all show a Z 0 which they should, but when it gets to the reporting side, they change to another value. What could have caused this to happen? I am using report
Star Probe Problems
I apologize for asking what is probably a simple issue. I was assigned the task of building a Star Probe on the CMM, which I am not trained on in any way. I thought I had figured out but I'm stuck. I am not getting correct measurements. I am using two
Machine Coordinates change when aborting Probe Change (before physical Change)
Hey guys, when aborting CMM Movement, after a Probe Change is initiated (even immediatly after the Command is started and Probe still on the way to the Rack) the Machine Coordinates change. I guess CMM-Manager (or the CMM Controller?) already set the
Alignment issue after programming offline
This is our first attempt at making a program offline and then attempting to run it once we receive the part from the shop floor. No matter what we've done so far, we can't seem to get the program to line up with our CAD Model. We're hoping that we can
NoTool & UndefTool
NoTool or UndefTool are unavailable in CMM manager & it leaves me in a awkward space when working in UCCserver sometimes on ph20. example: Was going to build a star probe so put away my currently tool in the rack on the UCC side and went to CMM_M for
cant change probe files or angles
hello all. I'm new to CMM manager and have been trying to edit a probe file to have A90 B0 but for the life of me it wont change. Even if I make a separate probe build it wont calibrate the new angle. I think it may be because I'm not connected to the
Tip calibration problem
When attempting to calibrate any tips that have an "A" rotation, the probe is not lined up correctly with the calibration sphere. I have tried several things from setting up the Machine Volume and Table to creating a new calibration sphere. Nothing
Mitutoyo UC - Establishing Machine Connection slow (Display blinks frequently)
Hey guys, I compared establishing machine connection on MCOSMOS and CMM-Manager. In MCOSMOS it blinks only one time. In CMM-Manager it blinks 8 times (1xlong, 7x short) resulting in a long connection time.. This applies both when starting CMM-Manager
CAD Import, purple surfaces
Hey guys, has anyone experienced purple surfaces when importing CAD (STEP, CATIA)? Can you tell what that means except that it doesn't look good.. Thank you!
Recent CAD Files menu issue
I've been having some odd behavior with "Recent CAD Files" dropdown. I can still import fine, it's just the Recents I'm seeing this with.
True Position
Morning guys!! I have a Basic 3 Hole flange I'm trying to find the true position of a hole. I'm not sure I'm imputing the features correctly to get the position. Can someone shoot me a trouble shoot for Cmm Manager 3.10. with PH10M. on a Zeiss Eclipse.
Internal Calculation Error
Saw an unresolved post on the old forum about getting this error from 2017. I get it when I try to construct a midplane from 2 circular planes that share a common center. The strange thing is that I am able to create the midplane from two circular planes
How to Align a Cylinder "Bullet Casing"
First off I'm fairly new to all this, I'm looking for some direction on how to align a 3D model of a bullet casing. I have tried 3-2-1 alignment along with manual alignments "Plane, Level, Set origin etc." with no success. What do I need to do to align
Questions on Move Part
If Nate can answer this, I would greatly appreciate it. I have a round flat part that I have to check. Datum B is a diameter; I can access it only on one side. Several holes on the other side (bottom) are called back to Datum B. I realize I can use Move
Cad view glitch
For some reason our cad models started disappearing when we open a program. It pops up then zooms off the screen. We have to hit show all to make it come back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaTeqKaq5hs
Probe Numbering starting from "0"
Sorry for spamming the Forum, but I'm in a hurry to make a decision towards or against CMM-Manager and need some things sorted out before I can finally decide.. This may look like a minor Problem, but our Rack is numbered from 1 to 9 and also in our MCOSMOS
Tips & Calibration Data get lost from time to time -> Root cause found!
