I used Apogee XG on the fly back in 1998 no training.
We also purchased QC 5000 for another Starrett CMM during that time, no training.
5 Years of guessing and hard gage testing led me to leave that company for a PC-DMIS / CAD driven company.
I did take the CAD++ and Advanced lessons from Hexagon but it wasn't until I purchased my own seat of PC-DMIS 3.7MR2 CAD++ offline that I really started to make some real headway.
Not to mention using this forum on a regular basis to understand how to think correctly.
Currently I use everything from 3.7MR2 PRO to 2015 CAD++ off line from my home in Washington to support the Virginia based company along with all U.S. vendors and China and UK vendors who need PC-DMIS programming.
I do have a back ground in manual/CNC machining along with CNC programming but that was only 5 years of my total manufacturing experience.
