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?

  • rickfngp, when you are in the AutoFeature dialog with circle selected for the feature type, double click on the edge of a circle that is completely in the camera image and it will find the circle, similar to what OGP does (you can do this for lines as well). If the circle is larger than the camera image, you will need to single click 3 points on the circle to identify it. If you are working with CAD you can select a hole or box select a group or pattern of holes to create the feature measurement.

    It's rare that that a circle that I need to measure is completely within the field of view.
    Clicking the three points on a 150mm diameter circle requires a lot of driving with the joystick, for part after part.
    I don't have access to CAD models.
    The point was that with the OGP it could follow the edge visually and PC-DMIS needs to be told where to look for that edge for an auto-circle.
