Multiple hole collection via remote trigger on Faro arm
I have a part with 2 lines of holes down 2 rails, approximately 40 holes. The holes are identical and the spacing is identical as well. Is there a way I can trigger another "element" to collect via the red button on the Faro arm so I do not have to return
Q-Das export
Hi, Is there any plans in the future to add support for the Q-Das format like the already existing QC-Calc report file format? And if so, what is the timeline for this? Thanks,
GD&T Font?
I've noticed since we updated our software, it shows symbols for GD&T in the report. These symbols show up on the PC that CMM Manager is installed on, but not our other PC's. Is there a font I need to install to see these GD&T symbols?
Does CMM-Manager know how PH10-M Head turns?
Hi, question is basically in title, does CMM-Manager know how the head turns from one angle to another? Especially the turning angles (clockwise, counterclockwise).. In the simulation it only jumps to the new tip angle.. Best Regards
Using CAD alignment for your initial alignment instead of 3-2-1
I have about a years worth of experience running/programming with CMM manager so I was just hoping to get some opinions to give me peace of mind. When it comes to creating alignments I was wondering if would be alright to use the CAD alignment instead

B Rotations - Avoiding 315 turns?
Many many years ago, I remember hearing/reading something about CMMM trying to avoid excessive rotations for B tip changes. Example: If you're at A90B0 and want to go to A90B-45, having the head turn 45 degrees during the change instead of 315 degrees.
Using a hole pattern for secondary and tertiary datums?
I had a discussion this morning with customer about a part where they had a plane as Datum A and a pattern of clearance holes as Datum B and considered that as a complete reference frame. After the call, I did a little research and apparently this is
DDE File Creation on New Job
I'm still very new to this DDE reporting. I just figured out how to make it work and put results where I want them. Is there a way to have it create a new Excel file for each new job? Right now I've been saving all the standard reports to a folder, appending
Bolt hole pattern as a primary datum
Is there an optimal way to use a bolt hole pattern as a primary datum that constrains the proper 5 degrees of freedom it's allowed? I have 8 holes spaced evenly at 45° at typical compass directions, all are nominally angled in the Z-Axis. If I measure
Finding a theoretical HeadSpace on a 7.62 round
I will do my best to explain what I need done, but so far I can not figure a way to accurately get this to measure. I have attached a picture as well. The idea is I need to measure from the bottom of the headcase (bullet) to the mid shoulder of the bullet

Sync CAD & Programmed Elements
Hey guys, I messed up a program and ended up with my Elements (Circles, Planes, Lines...) not laying at the right position on the CAD Model.. Is there a way to sync these elements with CAD Model again? E.G. creating a coordinate system for both and sync
Plane-Plane-Plane Alignments?
I realize that CMM Manager wants to use just a line for an alignment and a point for an origin, but this isn't true GD&T. Is there a way to use planes or other full dimensional features for alignment and origins?
Switch Reference Frame only for Reporting
I'm programming a qubic part with holes in all sides and different origins on the drawing.. I'm not sure about the strategy but I have an idea and would like to hear your opinion before I start.. I would align the part and sync CAD.. Then I would measure
Vision only alignment?
Hi, I am currently playing with the trial software to assess whether we want to go ahead with purchasing. I am interested in using ONLY vision tools for this assessment. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do a basic alignment. Any software

Report On Slot Length Between Circle Centres
I have the attached drawing I have to report on. I have measured the slot as a 2D CAD Slot, but when I report on it I can only report on the overall length and width. If I try to construct a line along the axis it makes it full length not centre to centre.
Report Properties Inspector Name

Move CAD more finegrained
Is there a way to move CAD e.g. about 51.4mm? I need to move the whole Program with CAD.. There is a transform command in the Program Window which I like more as you can enter values instead of dragging the part (which is not precise and you sometimes

Features- Actuals data?
When developing a program (actually probing features) why can't I ever see actuals data? When I look at the features list, even the "actuals" show nominal & no form error. Even when I report the feature, it only shows nominals.
