I'm a collapse-o user, I'd say close to 30% of the time I use it, I have to ctl-alt-delete kill our 2017 offline seat to keep working.
-It doesn't like importing CT Metrotome scans that have materials of similar density to the foam we use to fixture the part samples in the scanner.
-It often crashes on me at completely random points in the software (if you click too fast -crash-, if you click outside of a certain strategy window, -crash-) additionally, it only lets me import and run a CT scan routine about 3 or 4 times before producing errors that it can't import any other ct data. Close/reopen fixes. That software is super powerful, but has lots of hiccups.
Sounds similar to issues that some older versions of PC-DMIS had.
Some of the older versions had really bad memory usage problems, or memory leaks, so if you didn't save often, and close/reopen often, it would crash a lot.
yeah lots of "reset" buttons in the base alignment and CT data windows, which Zeiss folk repeatedly pounded into our heads to click on as often as possible during training... 2017 apparently didn't fix much.
From initial impressions @ Zeiss forum, 2018 is akin to those great 4.x Demon releases.. Me? haven't kicked the tires hard enough to form opinion. But.........
seems a universal metrology software truth to
never install the initial release.....at least not for use in a production environment
Achtung Baby!
p.s. Maybe IKEA not a good place to get your Calypso on, but worth the trip for those tasty Swedish meatballs..........
