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?

  • Wow, thanks for the numerous replies. I was being completely sarcastic when I said it knows I don't know what I'm doing, but I am inclined to believe I was pissing it off, as yesterday, after getting to know the program more and spending some time with the Help manual, it didn't crash but once. I did, however, keep encountering a graphics glitch. quickstart buttons(specifically the sub-menu buttons for align, construct, or dimension) would disappear when hovering over them. I could still select them, just couldn't see them.

    I will be going to training later this month (Hexagon opened another class in Irving, Tx) , but don't want to let this large chunk of change sit here unused until then.

    Thanks for everyone's help.
