When I got started with PC-DMIS it was with version 4.0. I used that for a few years and just though PC-DMIS just crashes a lot. It would often crash even while saving a measuring routine, which would corrupt the file. That sucked! Eventually the company I worked for had to get current on the SMA and upgrade it to whatever version supported a 64-bit OS. After that it only crashed like every other week. I didn't learn until a few years later that PC-DMIS 4.0 was an exceptionally bad build like the 'Windows Me' or 'Windows Vista' version of PC-DMIS.
I agree, PC-DMIS is super stable these days. I maybe crash it once a month, if even that often. Even so, it is normally because I did something silly like put a variable in a feature that refers to itself or something else that makes me think: yeeaah...that was dumb... I probably deserved to have the software crash right then.
Wow, that's really sad to hear. Glad you're using a better version these days.
