Hi everyone, I am new to this board and PD-DMIS. I need some help please. I have been using a PC-DMIS for several months. In the past I have routinely created a line from to constructed points, but now for some reason I get math failed: Combination of input features not supported. Have I shut some setting off??? I measured a part yesterday and could not construct the line, I re-measured the part today and could not construct the line, and then I measured a different part and still have the same problem. The program will let me construct a line between to hit points, but not constructed points.

Welcome Durose. Creation of lines is very dependant on workplanes. If you need to create a line using the x and y coordinates then you need to be in the Z workplane.

They have the same nominal location so PCDMIS can not make a line that nominally has no length therefore no vector. It does not know what direction the line should point in a generic sense.
What do you intend to do with this line? We might be able to help you achieve your goal but right now it is not doable with this line.

Hi Matthew, actually the machine is a Roamer and I work with large welded assemblies which distort and twist due to weld. A lot of times I will due a temp alignment, measure the entire unit and then later try to construct an alignment which makes sense. Usually this approach works.
