Calypso Sucks

louisd
"<Rant>"
I am stuck on a project involving CT Metrotome and Calypso. The software is powerful, really powerful... BUT (__HUGE___ o ___BUT___) it takes FOREVER to program effectively. there's a custom setting, unique strategy, filtering, blah blah blah for every little thing... Plus, we pay Zeiss like $400 an hour to make us crap routines that just reject product with poor GD&T.
Here I am, stuck fixing their crap for peanuts.

Anyone else deal with Collapse-o?

  • I went to a calypso user group once when we were considering switching to the other brand . It was like being at a apple store and telling the artists there that you like windows better and macs are for ( fill in the blank here) I had a tour of the facility as well. What ever you say about the software, the machines and name brand has only been know for quality products so I will not say a negative remark about that. We started another division and the man in charge thought it would be a good idea to get a machine that no one knew how to program and when they asked me for help all I could do was explain how I would do it with DMIS. It was a nightmare to say the least. !! Needless to say when my division bought new machines we got new globals. Never mind had we went the other way around we would have had to re-write 300-400 + programs. Bullet dodged !
