I have a question.. the guy that sold us CMM Manager and did the last calibration on our CMM has gone out of business. The guy we used in the past with OpenDmis is coming to do the calibration but doesn't know CMM manager software and is telling me that
Reporting the "X" label "Y" label "Z" label
Hey all, I am wondering if there is a way to report the "X" axis or "Y" axis labels when using DDE? Currently I can report out the "Note" as a balloon number, as in #01, "Nominal", "Actual", etc. but would like to send the X actuals to excel along with
Pass/Fail on Sphere probe tip calabration
Back on the 7th of October I asked a question in a post about Probe Tip calibration report. I was pointed to the "TIP SUMMARY" report. My customer asked me where on the Tip Summary report does it say Pass or Fail. He wants to see that the calibration
Filetype
Hi, Does anyone know if there is a possibility to always get the file chooser to open filetype “program” as standard when you open a program inside CMM-Manager? Now it seems to always default back to the latest opened filetype when you open a new one.
Change rack
Hi, Is there someone who has experience with using two change racks for modules in CMM Manager? We have a INexiv, but it would be the same for all the software variants I guess. Thought I would check before we purchase another one, just wanted to know
Adjusting Sweeping Range on scanning feature
Hi everyone, New to the site and CMM manager as a whole, I used to Program on PcDmis and Mitutoyo Geopak. I am however self taught or had a small amount guidance from a couple of people but never been on an actual CMM training course so I apologise if
cylindricity
I am inspecting a cylindrical part. It has a .600" dia. which is 1.06" in length (this is Datum D) and a .500" diameter below it and is 1.76" in length. I am measuring in Z direction. My alignment levels to D (cylinder) and origins to a circle at the
True Position of Threaded Hole (using mmc)
What is the best way to report the true position of a threaded hole using MMC. Using the thread feature while measuring two circles, extracting the data, creating a cylinder, and reporting the true position of that cylinder is the easiest way I have found.
Furniture not in correct location ?
CMM-M ver 2021 12.1.1.8411 I located the SCR200 CAD model in my environment as furniture. When I jog the probe around it is in the correct position, but when running a program, or anytime I change a probe assembly, during the probe assembly change
Probe Tip Calibration Report ???
Is there a Probe Tip Calibration Report that can be printed after probe tip calibration to a Sphere ? EDIT I mean all Probes and all tips.... I did find a "Tip Summary" report..... I think this would work to keep a record of my weekly tip calibrations,
GD&T
GD&T Question, not software related. I have never come across something like this. Can anyone tell me why there are two feature control frames for the same hole (not the composite feature control frame)? The features in question are 2x 1.000" holes. I
Measuring tall cylinders
Does anyone know why it wont measure the last circle all the way around? I am using a 3x50 stylus that has plenty of clearance and should be able to measure the whole thing. I tried changing the angle to everything from 5-65 and cannot get it to measure
Position of a hole normal to a large radial surface
What is the best way to verify the position of a hole that is normal to a large radial surface? We have tried the following methods below and get somewhat different results for both. 1. Hole measured as a cylinder and reporting position. 2. Intersecting
WHAT KIND OF STEM IS BEST?
i'm trying to decide what kind of stylus to get. i'm wanting a 3mm ball by 40 or 50mm stem/ i see that there is ceramic, and carbide. they are both about the same price for the 50mm length. is one better than the other?
PLACE CAD: how do you move a CAD and bring all the features along with it?
I have written a program and would like to adjust the visual location of the CAD but when I PLACE CAD all the features don't move along with it. How do I fix this so everything syncs up?

Backward compatibility
We are kicking around the idea of retrofitting our old Sheffield RS150 with a REVO 5-axis setup, which currently runs CMM Manager 3.5, PH10M head, and TP2 probing . I was wondering, if we upgraded to the REVO, with new probing, and CMM Manager 5-axis

Report Profile line and surface.
Hello, I have a doubt concerning the result obtained concerning the profile of a line or a surface. Shouldn't the value obtained be multiplied by 2?
Rotation in middle of program...
So, we are measuring a part where the datum is the O/D, but we need to find the Parallelism of both the top and the bottom surfaces of the part in reference to the Datum. Is there a way I can add a pause in the middle of the program to prompt user to
Move Part Command - Need more documentation/help
I have a part where I'll have no choice but to set it down on a flat plane, perform some checks, then flip it over, and reach inside it and perform some other checks. So I'm trying to learn how to utilize the "Move Part" function. I've been using this

Is it possible to have 2 "move part" commands in one program? I just figured out how to use this command, and successfully moved my part once and continued measurements. However, I need to move it again, to reach the far end of the part. (150" part on

PH20 movement for BLUE features measurement
Hello everyone! Is there a way to make the head have a head touch (ph20 touch) even without cad, and/or when using BLUE features? Especially on cylinders, circles, and cones? Thanks!
Position Tolerance on a Mid-Plane?
Not sure how to program this one effectively. It's a simple flatted shaft. Datum A is the cylinder. The dimension shown is the width across the flats. The callout, in theory, would setup two planes 0.08mm apart (with bonus tolerance) and the mid plane
Help with programming/report
I am hoping someone can give me some idea on the correct way to program/report this part. Currently I am measuring datum A as a plane and leveling, measuring a circle around datum B for my origin, and then measuring datum B as a cylinder and aligning

CYLINDERS: How do you reverse the vector for checking cylinders
I have a part that has a cylinder feature at an angle that I cannot reasonably measure the ID of and so as an alternative I want to use a pin and check the pin to see how close I am. When I select the cylinder feature and try to reverse the vector qx

Is there a way to run a program with another styli in place of the styli it was programmed with, without re-writing a program for that styli?
Batch run issue
There was a thread on batch run already but this is a different issue. I was going to submit a ticket but post here first to see if anyone else might be seeing this. usually I use some vb script to skip over the manual alignment if it’s not needed, however
EDITING ALIGNMENTS: What is the best way to do this?
Had a program all figured out. Customer called and wanted a new DRF. All I needed to do was move my origin a little bit. So I edited the program, told the program to update the report using new nominals, and ran the program. And now everything is off.
MULTIPLE PARTS: What's the best way to run multiple parts and get multiple reports?
sighhh another day another queestion from Craig What is the best way to run several (of the same) parts and get separate reports for each part? Batch runs the same part over and over. Looping doesn't seem to give separate reports. Is there something
Move CAD reference frame at program runtime?
Is there a reason why the Move CAD reference frame only is greyed out when the checkbox "Add to program" is active? Moving the CAD reference frame only could be very helpful when you have a part that requires a different datum callout than the main DCC
Create New Ref Frame
When reporting true position you have two options: 1. Use Current Ref Frame 2. Create New Ref Frame When selecting option 2, how come you are only allowed to select 1 datum? Why can't you build a reference frame using 3 datums and lock down all 6 do
