Thanks for the response. I have been struggling a bit lately with wonder lust. Working with CMMs just hasn't been as exciting for me as it has been in the past. But you're right. There is a lot to appreciate about the work.
I certainly do like to nerd out about the precision of these machines. It is quite amazing what they are capable of and how they manage to do it.
And, I guess there is something nice about the level of control and options you have working with this software. For the most part it is a solo endeavor so there is a lot of freedom to try different things and have fun with it. A person can take a lot of pride in a good measuring routine when it is wholly created by themselves.
I had to get a “move” or “career shift” off my chest. I would recommend trying other things unless you have a bunch time and energy.

IT may have drained the very life from my soul.
