Features and key improvements in PC-DMIS 2024.1
Improved integration with Nexus
Streamlined data uploads to Nexus for easier collaboration and faster decision-making.
PC-DMIS ECO Mode
Save energy – power down your CMM and program offline or access PC-DMIS during maintenance.
QIF CAD PMI data enhancements
Improved support for QIF file format – now access CAD assembly details.
Mesh & Pointcloud enhancements
Export cross sections in XYZ or IGES formats, review vector information for Surface Normals.
Geometric Tolerance now supports ISO codes
Save time by adding an ISO tolerance code rather than entering values.
ClearanceCube improvements
Fast access to ClearanceCube settings directly from the Summary mode.
Renishaw Equator workflow improvements
A streamlined, script free experience and new custom commands direct from the toolbar.
PC-DMIS 2024.1 offers other new features and improvements, including:
- Angle Feature extracts laser studs
Use the Angle Filter when extracting Laser Auto Feature Studs. Solves issues generated by over scanning the flat area surrounding cylinders. - Extended Sheet Metal Features (ESF) supports COP operators for optical feature extraction
Extract Optical ESF features from COP operators: Select, Filter, Cross Section - HP-L Laser patch scan as freeform
Create a Laser Patch scan as a freeform scan. Freeform scans reduce execution time - Change colour of HP-L Laser working area [idea centre]
Make the Laser working area more visible regardless of the color of the CAD model and the background color in the Graphics Display window - Vertical clipping independent values for laser features extraction
The nominal calculation of the Flush has been improved. Users can now set independent up and down values for vertical clipping, fine tuning the extraction to exclude unwanted data - Laser Auto Features flush nominal calculation
Improved accuracy and alignment with ESF (VWMP). Users can now choose to program Auto Features and ESF (VWMP) for Flush and Gap measurement – this helps to provide consistent nominals.
