PC DMIS Crash all the time?

We just purchased a Romer Arm 7525 and I've been feeling my way in the dark for the past couple of days. I haven't had the training yet, next class is full and won't be another until December?!?... Anyhow, that's a different issue.

I've had success pulling in CAD's, running alignments(starting to wrap my head around it, but I think a lot has been luck), but the real problem I'm running into is PC DMIS crashing several times a day. Can it sense I don't know what I'm doing? This thing may be smarter than I thought...

Situations where it crashes: manual alignment to part without CAD (3 times in a row, measured plane, taking hits on circle, on third hit it crashed)
Many other times, don't know enough about what I did to lead to the crash...

Anybody experience this? Suggestions?

  • I'm not sure where this is coming from, but PCDMIS doesn't have any sort of learning algorithm embedded in the coding. More than likely, conformational bias is leading you towards assigning what you view as a trend to random circumstance.


    What I mean to say is, it seems to know when you are doing something it don't like. For example, try editing while you are still in the middle of an Auto Edge Point. Better to finish the point and then move it.

    OR

    Clicking test on an Auto Feature, and then clicking cancel at the execution mode options dialog causes PC-DMIS to crash.

    Just saying there are certain ways to do different things and there is a right way to do them. The wrong way will kick you out every time. It's not a software glitch, though a simple pop up warning saying you can't do that would be nice, I just figured it was PCDMIS telling us "Don't do that newbie".
