cmm point data

[kujo763]

I am looking for a way to get point data out of our cmm software, Calypso v4.8. I need the target point and deviation point into X4 for our customer. I have no idea on the cmm side, and neither does our new cmm guy! Anyone familiar with that particular cmm software? I have 2 blocks with 100 hits per block i don't want to hand type all the points and the customer doesn't either.

 

Thanks in advance,

Dum question....Will Calypso export in dxf or Iges format that you can import yourself?

I know PC dimis will do it and does a great job for us when in comes to point data

I can get Calypso to export the target points (igs,stp) that land directly on the model but not the actual points that deviate from the target.

 

Thanks,

You will want to look for an actual file or captured point file made by the CMM. Does it export it out to an Excel program? If it does you could copy that put it in an txt program then using the ansii reader you can read in the data that will make points in Mastercam based off the actual points.

 

This company I work for called Verisurf has some really cool tools to do this. This is one of my other log in on the forum.

I found I could export the actual point positions in a .txt file then open and save as a .csv in excel, from there it was as easy as file open into X4.

 

Thanks guys,
