M2 by Metlogix

Graphics based part view constructions

Generate popular construction types, like Distances and Tangent Lines, from within the graphical part view itself. Constructions with multiple sub-types can be toggled quickly with the change feature type command.

Supported construction types include:
  • Average
  • Intersections
  • Tangent Line(s)
  • Angle Compliments
  • Offset Skew Lines
  • Mid/Center Point(s)
  • Shortest Distance
  • Gage Circle(s)
  • Perpendicular/Parallel Line(s)
  • End Point(s)
  • Farthest Distance
  • Bolt Circle
Feature Details Graphics

Individual feature views provide informative drawings displaying point cloud distributions, as well as nominal deviations, and tolerance results. Scroll through your measured features list from this view for a feature by feature display
of Actual, Nominal, Tolerance, and Deviation results. Set the desired data fit type from the “Actual” screen using the “fit toggle” button.

Geometric Tolerancing

You may measure features, set nominals, apply tolerances and view deviation results with only a few quick clicks. You may also apply a variety of popular tolerance types to features in the standard “feature-to-feature” fashion, or utilize
the “place tolerancing” system for applications where tolerances are specified in a block tolerance style call out. For these cases the M2 software let’s you enter and apply universal tolerance values according to your feature resolution
groupings.

Supported tolerances include:
  • X/Y/Z Positional
  • Diameter/Radius/
    Length/Width Size
  • Theta (Angle)
  • Form
  • Parallelism
  • Angularity
  • True Position
    (LMC/MMC Modifiers)
  • Straightness
  • Perpendicularity
  • Roundness
  • Concentricity
  • Runout
Part Programs and Playback

Playback or edit groups of measured, constructed, and created features from a saved part program file. Part program files, when loaded, will prepare the M2 software to repeat a sequence of feature measurement steps, printed reports, and
exported measurement data. The playback guidance mechanism provides helpful on-screen instruction for successful playback of your part programs.
