Live reporting question
Is there a way to change the tolerance for live reporting? I am measuring a curved surface part that is bowed past the tolerance range of .5mm. When I measure points the system is trying to throw the points onto other surfaces that may be closer to the

How can I construct an intersection point from a cylinder and a plane?
CMM Inspection Report Output - Out Of Tolerance Error
Can anyone help explain how the report is showing an out-of-tolerance result for an actual result that is within tolerance? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Can CMM Manager modify imported CAD models, physically?
Hello, Just curious- does the CMM Manager software offer any type of 3D CAD modeling/modding/manipulation features or optional extentions ? We have a part that we intentionally machine oversized until the final process. The CAD model I am referencing
Error: no localiser is currently selected
Hello. I am the newest owner of 2 legacy PCMM's and I'm having issues getting them to connect to any software so I can create a digital twin of my parts to reverse engineer in Solidworks or Fusion360. One arm is a USB Faro Gage arm circa 2005 and the
Data Export based on new feature label update.
Hi there, I'm curious if anyone has worked in depth the new feature labels and exporting the report as such. I have two very large programs that I carefully labeled each report item as a balloon number. The first program measures the top of the part.
Ask for Active Probe in Program
Hi, is it possible to let the user who runs a program verify the active Probe and if it is different from the one CMM-Manager thinks is active let him type in the correct one? Background is, we would need to run both Mitutoyo MCOSMOS and CMM-Manager for
Calibration Ring

Scanning questions
Is there a way to change the direction of a scan? Normally in this case, if my "arc" is segmented, so I choose "full circle" and adjust the range to measure the area I need. When I do this with a scan it wants to go in an undesirable direction. When I

Max/min on Graphical Report idea/question
This is either a suggestion or question, but I noticed for our CMM programs we have issue with showing the max/min on the "Mygraph" under graphical reports. There doesn't seem to be a way to add a leader line to the max/min and so sometimes it is incredibly
Measuring Angles
Version - CMM Manager 2022 Hello everyone, New to CMM's / CMM Manager. I just have a few questions regarding measuring angles. 1. If I create a diameter is there a way to add a visible reference crosshair X / Y? Once it is created can angles be measured
Possibility to Add Ribbons
Hi, I like the possibility to add Toolbars, but can you add also the possibility to add Ribbons? A) There is unused Space on some Tabs which could be used for Custom Ribbons B) Ribbons have Captions while Toolbars have not Great would be the possibility
3D Connexion SpacePilot not working

Is it possible to edit Translations? As a native German Speaker, I find the German Translation a bit odd on some corners..
Graphical Report out-of-sync
I've noticed that periodically the graphical report will get out-of-sync with the cad, where the features are "floating" in space. (See attached screenshot) In this instance you can see the program indicates that the cad is in-sync, and the graphical
knuckle calibration A90,B180 for measuring under a part
I was wondering if anyone had a lead on a good writeup for knuckles in UCC server with a 90 degree angle. building it is easy, however I'm struggling with setting up a calibration sphere not vertical to the table. calibrating A0B0 goes well but i'm struggling
DCC Measure, get actual CMM Position
I'd like for example measure a Circle with DCC, but I don't want to type the Coordinates of the Center Point cause I already moved the Probe to the Center Point.. I'm missing a Button for getting the Coordinates like there is one in Mitutoyo MCOSMOS.
MSR400 & Tripple FCR25 - How to configure?
Hey guys, can you help me configure my Rack System? The first screenshot is from Mitutoyo MCOSMOS, the second and third are from CMM Manager.. I tried to enter the X,Y,Z Coordinates in the last screenshot under Location but these fields are not editable.
SP25 scanning speed
I came across this video the other day and was amazed how fast the machine was scanning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKKWpmvRg2s I don't know if it's bad practice to scan this fast, but I was going to try some experiments to see how the speed would

Few ideas on "improvements"
Graphical Reporting When creating a cloud to cad graphical report, let's say I have measured the cloud with 300 points. When creating that cloud in the report you will have 300 boxes pop up with leader lines pointing back to the actual points on the cloud/model.

Ability to change font in NOTES text in the report
This might be a big request, but I would really appreciate it if we can have a change color and change size for the font of the notes in CMM-Manager reports. This way, it will help more on catching the attention of our inspectors, especially with jobs
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
Select many holes all at once?
Is there a way to check all of the holes on face by selecting them at once all or by selecting all of the holes of a certain size that intersects a surface? Say something like 300 holes on a face that is not a pattern. Do we really need to manually select
Measuring small tight geometry
What I mean is getting into grooves to measure the top and bottom (width) or max diameter when the groove is not significantly wider than the probe you are trying to use.... I had a part today that had a 4.25" Ø ID groove, that looked like I could measure
USING A STAR PROBE ON A MANUAL CMM
I have a Mitutoyo Manual CMM with CMM Manager installed. I have been able to set up a star probe assembly. We are planning measure a large INSIDE diameter of a GROOVE (about 26 inches). We seemed to have set-up the probe correctly - however when we measure
composite position with a complex surface as the primary datum
I have a drawing that calls out for a composite of 8 diameters to ABC (PLTZF) AND AB (FRTZF) however my datum A is constructed of target points that do not form a perpendicular plane to any other datum. is this even possible to report in CMM manager?
Probe Assembly glitch?
First time I've run into this problem. The program was originally made years ago and runs maybe 1-2 times a year and has had no problems until now. I get most of the way through my program until I get to a different probe assembly. It's supposed to go
CAD teach points

MOVE PART OR LEAPFROG
I have a part that is 20 inches larger than my table. for the move part command it seems as though I need to be able to remeasure my alignment points from the before move section. this normally wouldn't be an issue if I was able to remeasure the datums.
UCC Renishaw Joybox
I do not think this is a CMM Manager issue but I am going to ask regardless since we are using 2020. When taking a manual measurement, where in UCC do i got to adjust the backoff and well as the fast/slow speed. Thanks in advance
General question about cad sync
When I start a program and measure my manual alignment, does it have to be exactly the same features and aligned as my Cad alignment before it will automatically sync? Sometimes my manual alignment will not automatically sync with the cad alignment. Is
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
