No CAD & Hopeless

I take it you had a drawing to work from so what was the problem other than it may take a little longer to do.

I protest with due respect. Why do he have to work so hard when people suppose to fill up CMM request Form and provide him CAD, GD&T, parts. I feel disrespect to the guy who is dealing with these duffers.

working on an offline seat UKCMM. That would take a lot longer, don't you think? You crazy brit Hey how come your emblem by your name says send message with an envelope. While everyone else, has a start conversation and a quote bubble?

KIRBSTER269 I was asking the same thing, special treatment

If the part is a standard turned/prismatic shape then how much more time do you think it takes.
.
Remember just point and click does not mean the end, you most likely will have to alter something like number of hits, CW/CCW thread pitch, depth/end offset on cones to name a few. You will still have to name features and call out result set datums create comment for the programme and results output.

This is not about dealing with duffers some companies do or will not send out CAD models or the models are so poor as to be useless and I am not taking about some backyard companies but large medical/aerospace and military from the UK, USA and Europe sometimes you just have to go with what you have been given.

The programme you create without a model will be no less accurate than one with.

If the part was a standard shape I would not need a CMM to check it.
I'm not lost; I've already mentioned how entirely feasible it would be to create a program.
My particular setup requires more than "point and click", it's a multi-sensor vision system for one.

They are good at making the CAD models (I mean I've never received a bad one, but I had 5 or 7 or work from.)
This is sort of why I have a hard time believing that "they refuse to send us CAD models."
They have sent models.
I don't care if they want to or not. I want to know that they can't.

And yes, there will be lots of inaccuracies. Specific to vision mostly, again, but.
[edit]
E.g. should I use Black to White or White to Black scanning?
Draw an Inner Circle, or an Ellipse? How can I compensate for potential burrs or rolled edges?
What would I set my filters to? Degrees of measurement for a circle on a notch to get the best representation of it?
[/edit]
I can't create a full-fledged, fully working program, one and done and ready to run, no bugs or errors, even with a CAD model.
I haven't been doing this shlt for 20+ years.

UKCMM may I ask what your salary is? You talk like you make enough money to be okay with sitting there and doing that.
I don't.
Hence the Bltching

I make a very good living thank you and other people do the sitting for me.

I'm not saying you don't, and I'm not attempting to talk down or anything.
This company does not provide me the opportunity to do the same.
I think you should work here before attempting to defend them.
There's a programmer/operator position available, should you wish to apply.
