Newb question: Understanding DMIS language and common logic, format etc

provenprogram
I'm a darn good CNC programmer or so I've been told but now I must learn instead of how to speak NC machine language to speak the dmis language. Right now if I was in the land of dmis I wouldn't know how to ask where the restroom was. I can see that on the front end of dmis...the gui side...its a lot of drag and drop so to say with things and behind that sits the code that I have to learn. Now...I have an encyclopedia of dmis commands-codes. I know that just like NC code, some of the codes are used all the time, some almost all of the time, and some rarely. This is where I want to start...getting a handle on the commonality of the commands. I need a heads up on common newb pitfalls to avoid. Proper (or the more common) format and logical layout for sure.

Links to tutorial videos would be good. Links to sample programs that have descriptions of what this and that do would be very appreciated too. Cheat sheets!!! Man...do I need all the cheat sheets that I can get.

Thanks a lot in advance folks. I hope that this is the beginning of a not too painful experience....Slight smile

  • when you say go training how do you know which one to go to? I am also the new kid on my block at my company with a my own and only CMM (Sheffield endeavor 3), I had a tech from hexagon come down and teach me the basics. I received a certificate for PC-Dmis for CMMs 101.... now I have been looking into classes but I don't know if I need to go for pc-dmis pro or cad++...Also since I have the certificate I really don't know if I need to go level 1 or advance into level 2. I Really want to learn how to loop and learn vb script or cypress enable script but don't know which one. A lot of random questions I know but it's hard to ask for guidance when you don't know anyone in this field of work. Very time consuming teaching myself and trying to figure out the next step so please I will take all the advice I can get.

    If you're not sure which level to go to.....go to level 1.....if you're not sure which one from the list you want to learn, loop, vb script, or cypress enable script.....then you must not be comfortable enough with the basics and just want to jump into trying something more advanced. Stick with LEVEL 1 till your REALLY comfortable, then try to start learning more advanced stuff.
