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...

  • Here is some venting for you, We hire a calibration service to calibrate our granite tables. Last year they sent out 3 guys to calibrate 3 granite tables (not very large tables). We complained about it and let our grievance be known that we don't want them to send 3 guys out because of Covid. This year (today) they sent out 3 guys again. None of them want to wear steel toe shoes and they have already all taken off their masks even though we told them to wear them. I know that they might not like the rules but they need to follow them if they are going to be on site here.
