Hexagon frequently updates a public-facing technical directory containing release notes and direct links to the executable installer files ( .exe ) for recent versions. Searching for the "PC-DMIS Technical Directory" or "PC-DMIS Hexagon Nexus" will typically lead you to active download mirrors hosted directly on Hexagon’s servers. 3. Contacting your Hexagon Account Manager
While the software download is often public, a valid PC-DMIS Offline CAD++ or Offline CAD license (with an active Software Maintenance Agreement, or SMA) is required to activate the software for offline programming. 2. What is PC-DMIS Offline Programming?
If your offline computer is completely air-gapped, you can download the installer on an internet-connected computer and transfer it using a secure USB drive, as described in the Hexagon Public Forum . Installation Steps for PC-DMIS Offline
An "Offline" installation refers to a seat of PC-DMIS used on a computer that is not connected to a physical CMM. This allows programmers to create routines using CAD models while the CMM is busy running production.
PC-DMIS is the world’s most popular metrology software, used to program and operate Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). While it usually connects directly to a machine, many quality engineers prefer to program in . This allows you to create, test, and edit inspection routines on a separate computer without occupying valuable CMM machine time.
Before you search for a download link, you must understand two distinct concepts:
Provides a risk-free environment for new programmers to learn without the danger of machine collisions. System Requirements
If your CMM lab has no internet access and you cannot log into the portal, contact your local Hexagon distributor. They will:
16 GB minimum (32 GB or higher highly recommended for large automotive or aerospace CAD files).
The primary and safest location to download PC-DMIS is the official .
Think of it as a high-fidelity simulator for CMM programming. Instead of writing code directly on the machine and halting production, you can develop and perfect your measurement routines at an office desk. The software's interface, features, and functions are largely identical to the online version, ensuring a seamless transition.
