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?

    BKulpa, how is your transition going?

    We purchased an optiv classic 321 with touch probe capabilities and it was set up about a month ago. PC-dmis CMM to Vision is nearly identical with the exception of a few extra vision features. Went to Vision 101-102 training, explained a lot how the machine finds edges, how the light sources work, cross calibration form vision probe to touch probe, importing cad, 2D alignments, etc... A few days were a refresher to CMM 101 courses constructions and dimensioning. So glad I was able to attend vision training.

    Turns out the part we are looking to inspect wasn't really a good candidate for a vision system so we are primarily using the touch probe for inspections.
