Common Items
Permanent Hits and Spacer – Partially Supported. Runtime sample hits will be taken but will not be used to modify the path. They will only be used in the Analysis phase.
Initial Hits – Unsupported. These are learn-time sample hits. There is no learning function in NC.
Re-Measure – Supported. However, there may be no benefit to re-measure using the same path.
Read Position – Unsupported.
Auto PH9 – Unsupported. 5 axis machine tools with multi-axis wrists may be supported in later versions.
On Error – Unsupported. PC-DMIS will be operating in a Server mode where the Operator will generally not see the screen.
Relative Measurement – Unsupported. This requires path modification based on measurement.
NOMINALS – FINDNOMS – MASTER – VECTOR list. NOMINALS only supported.
Circle
Circular Move – Supported. The path will be generated with straight line segments by PC-DMIS when only protected moves are allowed. Circular moves are supported in the major machine axis planes XY YZ ZX if the NC controller can perform them.
Find Hole – Unsupported. Requires controller based path generation.
Cylinder
Find Hole – Unsupported.
Circular Move – Supported for unprotected motion.
Use Theoretical – Supported.
Cone
Circular Move – Supported.
Line
For CMT Features Only – Unsupported.
Corner Point
Supported since the path is not dependent on measurements.
Angle Point
Supported since the path is not dependent on measurements.
Edge Point
Unsupported. The points on the edge are determined by the surface point(s) which is a dynamically generated path.
High Point
Unsupported.
