How hard is it to make tranistion for CMM to vision

I've been working with PC-Dmis CMM for about 15 years.
I also have experience with an OGP vision system (which I hate the software) for about the same amount of time.

Can someone give me their experiences on the transition that I'm going to have going from CMM to an Optiv classic with a TP20 tactile probe and vision capabilities?

    So I personally didn't have much of an issue. Understanding the lighting and how it affects measurement is going to be something you're just going to have to learn with experience and the creation of points and the best way to perform the creation of them on the vision side can be tricky but nothing too complicated. But when it comes to understanding how to do all of this in PC-DMIS if you don't have someone to teach you then you're really going to need to take a class on it. It's not intuitive and can make life difficulty.

    I did it without much input but it wasn't with PC-DMIS it was on a much less friendly software. The bad news is once you see how amazing vision is you'll never understand how you survived without it.
