PC-DMIS to CALYPSO

I just got a job offer for a company that is using PC-DMIS now but is switching over to ZEISS CYLYPSO. It sounds like they are prepared to spend some money on training and I was hoping to hear from anyone who has done this.
Is there a big learning curve?
Is CYLYPSO a big difference?
What were the biggest hurdles you encountered?
Is one software easier to learn the other?
Any thoughts and information is appreciated.
Thanks.

  • The two major differences I have seen are 3D lines, in Calapso they are not 3D lines as in PC-DMIS (I never did find out their purpose) you use 2D lines for most everything and their alignments are very limited with respect to the amount of constructed features allowed in a single alignment. Also, I work next to Calapso every day and compared to PC-DMIS it is very slow and cumbersome software to use.
