Profile (Form)
Hi CMM Manager Community, Need some advice on this profile measurement below in red. What is the best method? This essentially measuring form per ASME Y14.5-2018. We keep getting erroneous measurements out of our CMM. Thank you!
Is this Datum Reference Frame Realistic
Hello, I am in the process of inspecting this part and I am starting to question this DRF. Is this even possible. Seems like it is trying to constrain more than 6 degrees of freedom. Maybe I am wrong or missing something. I also tried to Draw Datum Target
Parametric Programming
I need to figure out how to create a parametric program to check a family of parts. Initially it sounds somewhat simple, except I am a complete noob to computer programming. Before I spend more time on this, I want to run some info past the group mind
Reference Tip Usage
New machine, new questions. In general practice, I've heard you don't want to use your reference tip for part measurements. Our new machine now has a rack for changing tips, but I currently only have two stylus holders (SH-25-2), so I am currently limited
Downloading older versions
Where can I download older versions of the CMM-Manager installer? I'm in need of version 3.9.
A.I Tools?
It seems like everyday I'm seeing a new use for GPT with various plugins for various software. I know these tools are still early in development, but does QxSoft have any plans to develop something that utilizes an AI tool? I don't know how much work
SCAN tab missing

Reporting Labels
I know there were some previous questions about having the ability to manipulate the labels and titles of different dimensions and features within the report. Was that implemented anywhere in the new update?
Cylindrical Feature True Position
I am having an issue correctly reporting the true position of cylindrical features in CMM Manager 2017. Basically the reported position is in the wrong plane, reporting X-Y instead of X-Z position when the axis of the cylinder is in the Y direction and
Volute true position
Hoping someone with more experience with pumps can help me. I am working on a volute casting. Our customer wants a true position of the volute. I reported a profile back to the model. This is not satisfactory. Anyone have any idea how to apply a true
CREATING ALIGNMENTS: What is the proper order of operations?
I thought I had the proper steps down but I'm getting such wonky numbers I'm sure I'm missing something. How critical is order of operations? I really only use the Free Position Alignment command when setting up parts. Does a SYNC Part command need
Counterbore on Cylinder
Two questions here. First, I have a print that has a callout for a counterbore on a cylindrical surface and I am not sure where to measure the depth from. Second how do I report this on CMM Manager? Thanks.
Tolerance color bar not showing on report
Not sure why my tolerance color bar isn't showing on my report.. It is turned on in preferences. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
Trying to understand fitting
Can anyone explain to me why the Construct Best Fit Plane will sometimes use the Points as Corners, and sometimes it puts them on Edges?
DDE Excel file location
I have several programs that have 50 ish lines of DDE export in the program. At some point our server paths changed, switching what was for example the "Z" drive, to what is now the "X" drive. This has made it so I have to change the path in every DDE
DRO moves on its own
I always place the DRO at the bottom right corner of my blue screen. This morning is the second time that it has been moved when I get here in the morning. We don't have a night shift or anyone around to mess with it. Also the computer has not been restarted
Shortcut keys
Where in 2022 can I customize shortcut keys? I had several set in 2021, but they no longer work and I am not able to find where to change them again.

outside diameter
I'm new to DCC. I was wondering if there is a way to check an outside diameter and have the probe follow the radius instead of taking a straight line to the next point. The program is not using a CAD model.
Bilateral TP
Can anyone explain to me why there is always a deviation on Bilaterals when evaluating a NOMINAL during offline programming?
MMC calculation on perpendicularity
My Datum B cylinder is measuring about .004" over MMC. Why am I seeing only a .001" bonus when reporting my perpendicularity? Am I missing something?
Reverse Engineering
Does anybody know the best way to measure an unknown profile DCC then create a profile from the points taken? I have a part that I need to duplicate that I want to make a 2D sketch of using features measured with the CMM. The perimeter of the part is
Creating a line thru scanned points.
I am trying to figure out how to create a line, through all the points of a 2d scanned cloud. I can export the points, but once its in Solidworks its not very easy to build a line when there is a large number of points, I think this one is over 1000 points.
Knowledge Base milestone - 185 articles and counting!
Hi there CMM-Manager users. Over the last week we've added around 50 KB articles, there are now over 70. All manual and DCC install guides along with updated notes are included. We will now start to add tutorials, error help, and other auxiliary
Comparing features of size
Does anyone know how to report the thickness of two features relative to each other? I have a part that consists of two rings where the critical dimension not how think the two rings are but that there the same thickness. Does anyone know a way to report
2022
Do you have a time frame for the release of 2022?
Moving reference frame
Hello, Does anyone know how to change the reference frame in a program without recreating all of the paths. I created a part program offline recalling a fixture reference frame but accidently used the wrong offset. I set the X offset as 12" when it needed
CREATING REPORTS: BYPASSING THE DEFAULT REPORT
When creating a program and reporting features, a Default Report is created. If I add a graphical report, in the REPORT tab it creates a whole new report usually defaulting to MyReport1. But when I execute the program, only the original DEFAULT REPORT
Cloud to CAD best fit
I'm having some unexpected results that I was hoping someone could help clarify the best fit function of the Cloud to CAD reporting. My assumption was, if I do not select the "Best Fit" box the profile will be fully constrained to my current reference

Composite Profile Callout
Hello All! How do you go about executing this callout in CMM-Manager, since there is no way to report a composite profile as of this version. Should i just do a seperate cloud-to-cad on each callout? Also, is composite profile reporting going to be added
Client Monitor Program Issues
Has there been an update to the Client Monitor Program recently? I'm on version 1.0.8495. It seems like the connection between this program and CMM Manager has issues. Whenever I try to refresh the status, it gets stuck. I have no way of updating probe
GRAPHICS WINDOW: feature display and other options
in the Graphics Window can you: 1. hover over a feature and identify what feature it is you are looking at? normally i have to go to the program window and scroll through all the features to highlight the one i want to edit. 2. can you tell Qx to display
DISABLING FEATURES IN A PROGRAM
Is there a faster way to disable (skip/not inspect) features in a program without having to disable the reporting of the feature as well?
FREE POSITION ALIGNMENT: ORIGIN MOVING AROUND
I mostly use the Free Position Alignment method when programming both Cad and Non Cad programs. When I have a Cad, my order of operations looks like the below posted picture. There's a SYNC PART REF FRAME FREEPOSITION ALIGNMENT set at 0,0,0 then SYNC
Mirror a Program
There wasn't a tab dedicated to praise or things I've found helpful, so hopefully this is ok. I created a program that revolves around a metal wheel hub, measuring all kinds of planes and diameters every 40 degrees or so, and it utilizes almost 20 angle
