I have been running PC-DMIS on our CMM for 5 years now. None of the new fancy stuff though just 3.5r2. We bought a INFINITE 2.0 and it came with Polyworks. Polyworks does great things for the scanning side of things but as far as probing parts goes we hate it.
So my question to you is how close in comparison will my DCC version of PC-DMIS be to this portable? Will I be able to pick it up fairly quickly.
As far as alignments go, will I be able to square up on a face and report True Position in 2 axis? For example I have a picture here showing my Z squared to the highlighted face in red and the rest following Right hand Rule.
Can I recreate this alignment on Portable version?

My experience is very similar to yours with about 8 years on DCC equipment and 4 of that on PC-DMIS and the last 2 years with PC-DMIS Portable on an Infinite 2.0. It will be very easy for you to do the exact same alignments. In fact, with very little modification, you can run programs on either system.
