I'm a beginner to the cmm and have been learning on my own by googling around for info. Do you guys have any recommendations for free videos or tutorials? My work pinches pennies and doesn't pay for anyone to get trained. And now we have another machinist learning to operate it as well. Thanks
Keep a organized electronic word doc (any brand) with procedures, tips, tricks, how to's, etc... on things that might come in handy one day. Even if you don't get to use that trick you saw on the forum for a couple of months.
I keep a google doc that I constantly update with things I've learned on the forum. An example would be how to combine 2 auto circles into 1 constructed circle. I open my doc, type line 1 in bold. "how to combine 2 auto circles into 1 constructed circle". Then I copy the code from pcdmis that I've tested and works and paste it into my doc and I might add notes about that 1 entry.
Next time I see something that I like, I'll open my doc, insert page break and add another entry such as creating a .csv file for measurement data, printing to my network, entries on the math algorithms, true position formula, small arc method, etc.. Anything that might be useful now or in the future.
So when I need to look something up, I just click control f and find what I'm looking for.
