New to Portable

Hello everyone!

I am new to the forums. I have 5+ years programming experience with PC-DMIS CMM. The company I work for recently bought a used Faro Arm with Cam2 Q. The laptop with the Cam2 Q software befell an unfortunate fate and because of licensing terms we needed to purchase new software. I was able to talk my boss into getting PC-DMIS Portable with the new laptop after informing him of the drawbacks and dislikes i have found with the Cam2 software. We are currently waiting for the laptop to be delivered and my question is how close to the CMM version is the Portable version? Do any of you think I will encounter a major learning curve or problem? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, Thank You!

  • We don't use cad drawings for inspection so that shouldnt be an issue. Cam2 uses projection planes to calculate vectors automatically. Do you mean PC-DMIS uses the angle at which you take the hits to figure vectors or am i mistaken? I plan to make programs for high production or common parts and inspect smaller runs or one-off parts on the fly.
