Any thoughts as to the benifits of Romer over Faro? My shop is thinking of getting a portable CMM and I'd like to get some imput as to which you think is better. Also do you have any suggestions in gereral for what to be careful about with portable CMMs?
Faro Software; cam 2 measur x is totally inferior to the pcdmis software.
No matter what the "glitches" you may have, or find in pcdmis, it is nothing in comparison to the cam 2 software.
i) as stated above, you can only have 1 alignment. If you have multiple datum schemes, the solution that I was told was to make "multiple" reports.
ii) during measurement, if you add notes to the "note" tab they do not show up in your report.
iii) extremely irritating is the fact that the rotation of the cad file on screen can drive you totally insane.
iv) mirroring of a cad file does not work as it should. Aslo, you can not delete cad features as you can in pcdmis.
v) you are not able to measure all features, and then report them in the order that you wish to. This is easily done in pcdmis.
vi) you can only have one crappy view of your part in the cam 2 software.
vii) many of my cad files will not "function" as they should. Not able to pick up surfaces etc. Also, many times I have to consctuct a nominal for each feature and then associate it manually. (What a waste of time that is, espedially if you have many features).
These are just some of my observations over the past few months that I have been subjected to this software.
I would love to be back programming in the "demon".
