PC DMIS changes their software too much for me to have any desire to use GEOTOL or Xact Measure. I personally don't ever want to get into a situation where I now have to update 3000 programs because they decided to yank part of the software out & call it an "update".
I always create alignments that RECALL/STARTUP that have all six degrees of freedom controlled & my results always correlate with the surface plate measurements which should always be our overall goal. I've never once had someone question me about "whats my datum shift?" nor have I ever worked with anyone that wanted to understand/use the datum shift info unless it was another CMM programmer.
If you don't mind me asking (I'm relatively new), what's the end goal for having your alignments that RECALL/STARTUP? I always have a manual and DCC alignment that constrains all 6 degrees, but they build off of each other, and now I'm wondering if I'm forgetting to do something important.
