New to Portable

Umpy31337
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!

  • CAD++ and CAD are different versions off PC-DMIS. There are also PRO, Off-Line Programming, and so on. This will determine what options you have with your PC-DMIS(this can change how your tool-bars look). This has nothing to do with your shop drawings, or how you check the parts.
    You are mistaken about vectors. PC-DMIS does not use angle alone to calculate vector, but it helps to be normal to the surface. For example, when you have to pick up a circle with a arm, its alway better to pick first point as close to nurmal to the wall of the circle as possible. Other points don not really matter.
