I am completely lost.

My company recently purchased an OPTI 321 running 2018 software. We do not have a touch probe on our machine. It is being used in vision only.

I am not a QC inspector and I've only ever programmed a machine using M codes.

I was sent to the 3 day class and then had 8 more hours of instruction here on our machine. I'm still completely lost.

I have been working on this machine for weeks and have yet to make a program that runs.

I bought the training manual that came with the labs when I took the course but the icons in the manual do not match my machine.

Is there an online tutorital or video that I could watch to walk me through the basics? I need something geared at a user who has NEVER used anything like this before.

Thank you!

  • Start with getting more into detail as far as what you're lost with. I'm lost.

    Is not finding icons is what is holding you back?
    Never learn PcDmis from icons, learn it from the menu drop downs first then shortcuts. Icons are user customize-able, you'll pull your hair out if you depend on icon layouts everyone has a different layout that works best for them.

    Some of the training provided from Hexagon 'should' be enough to get started.
