PC-DMIS 2023.2 gives you more control and simplicity for greater efficiency. The latest update delivers more efficiency gains with a range of new smart features and updates to popular tools. Create new features faster with enhanced Measurement Strategies. Navigate complex objects with an updated ClearanceCube. Generate a pointcloud from CAD models for offline routine creation without scanning a physical part. And much more. PC-DMIS 2023.2 continues to innovate with smart, time saving features that will make programming measurement routines easier and more intuitive.

Pointcloud from CAD
Create pointcloud routines offline without scanning a physical part. Portable CMM users can now simulate point cloud data and practice working with feature extraction and dimensioning offline

Feature creation improvements
Updated Measurement Strategies for hassle free feature creation. Quick Path display visualises the probe path whilst using Quick Features to Identify potential collisions when creating measurement routines. Smart Ending offset considers the effective working length of the tip in use to avoid shanking.

Touch Trigger Probe User Defined Plane
Add move points to Auto Feature plane with a Touch Trigger Probe to avoid fixture clamps or obstacles. AutoPlane now has same level of flexibility as Measured Feature.

ClearanceCube improvements
This update enables path generation for parts with more complex geometries. ClearanceCube is now more user friendly - settings are easier to define and use with click and drag editing of dimensional parameters.

Select all hits (Ideas Centre)
Use feature hits to create a Best Fit construction with just a few clicks. Previously the single mean position of all the points of the feature would be highlighted – these single points caused an error for Best Fit construction where multiple points are needed. With Select all hits – each hit from individual planes are easily selected and added to a Best Fit construction

Whats New
PC-DMIS 2023.2 offers other new features and improvements, including:
-Geometric Tolerance & Migration Report improvements
-Users must select a single GD&T standard when creating the routine - reduces the possibility of mistakes arising from multiple standards – reports detect multiple standards

ESF contact copy parameters
-Copy Parameters tool is now available for ESF (VWMP) Contact features

ESF customisable naming rule
-Customers can change the names of parameters (from VW based defaults)

ESF editing dimension tolerances
-Easier and faster editing of ESF tolerances in measurement routines

Send report data to Nexus
-Upload directly to Metrology Reporting without using SFx desktop application

Support for AS1-XL scanner
-PC-DMIS automatically detects when an AS1-XL sensor is loaded and activates the optimal scanning parameters

HP-LC-1000 firmware upgrade
-New Laser Controller firmware version 0.10.6 enables HP-L-10.10 Laser Scanner System to run with PC-DMIS 2023.2 and previous software versions
