Venting

So I was out last week with the rona and the operator (programmer in training) was supposed to run some parts for me while i was out. Well Its a very simple program with a simple manual alignment and CAD. Well i get a phone call while I'm lying in bed and she said the CAD was gone. So she didn't know where to take the manual hits.

Understandable... so I told her to hit CTRL+Z and it should bring the CAD into view. Nothing. I ask her if she can see the points. she says yes. Then i ask her to bring the CAD file back in since the CAD was gone and then we could walk through transforming the CAD to match the hits. Well she imports the CAD again and says the CAD is still gone. I ask her to send me a picture of the screen........

The report window was open..... It was over top of the graphics display window. That's it. That was the huge issue that she couldn't figure out. And she is blaming me saying I should be more descriptive in my programs so that when issues like this happen she knows what to do. I'm at a loss for words...

  • The CMM two jobs back would vent about every 10 minutes.

    Scared the crap outta you when you were trying to delicately probe something.


    This is how my last job was coupled with a huge for the most part empty room. The hiss would bounce off of the walls and attack you from all sides. For the first couple of months it would scare me right out of my naps. Then I got used to it. However, it never got old watching the engineers nearly soil their pants every time they came into the lab.
