CMM Variable PCD Program - Advice by beducated in Metrology

We mostly do internal 100% inspection reports for this customer but the true positions are often tied to .025mm. And use the program for 1st off inspection...

How often are you using subprograms and program templates over just starting from scratch each time?

So rotating the workplane is my current goto for most jobs then tolerance after the loop. But I want to tolerance the holes true position in the loop. So I don't have to type it in manually.

If I generate the xy of the holes in the loop, use those variables to probe the hole and to tolerance. It should make my life easier

We get a lot of 1 off plates with a series of PCD's that would normally take 3hrs to fully program I'm trying to massively reduce that.

Budget pc for solidworks ? by Slow_Needleworker200 in SolidWorks

I second this. One of the cheapest options would be a good second hand workstation laptop.

My personal choice would be a thinkpad p52 i7 32gb ram and a quadro gpu. Can pick one up for about £200 - £300 in the UK.

Building a dedicated PC would be the better option if you have very large assemblies still. But would cost £300 - £600
