MM4 to PC-DMIS

Old CMM Guy
Real quick about myself: Programming CMM for 25+ years. Avail, MM4, and PC-DMIS Cad++

I was wondering if anyone has converted a MM4 program to PC-DMIS.
There are about 100 programs to do. The programs are simple, lines, planes, circles, points and a report.
It is a Brown & Sharpe Xcel machine using Windows XP computer, with the legacy bundle (emulator),and with the old world class controller.
The respond, delay on the computer is unreal, I believe it's going down for the count. .
I have tried the import option in PC-DMIS and just hangs up, or just don't work.
The reason I need to convert the programs is so I can get a newer computer on the CMM.

I would appreciate any feed back...

  • If there's a way, I wish someone told me 3 years ago when I had to rewrite ~50 programs when we upgraded from one of our MM4 PFX to a global using PCDMIS. Some I had open the MM4 in a text file and used as reference and some I wrote new from a print.

    Although, thinking back, I would rather rewrite them anyways. It eliminated a lot of "wtf, why did they do that" moments. Things were different back then...
