I have been programming for years. Offline with probes and have no problem.
However, got thrown onto a Optiv 453....what is that you say?. Well, it gets better. Windows XP and PCDmis2012 Mr1. Yippee!!!!! NOT!
My biggest problem is once the model is in. Getting the FOV to go to the model without getting "YOUR OUT OF MACHINE LIMIT"! What? Me...no way. ha.
Seeing as how Hexagon has ZIP for videos on vision and wants to charge $2500.00 for 8 hrs of "Screen Share" to help program, I am dead in the water.
My software wont even let me use the 3-2-1 alignment button. So, before anyone jumps to ---upgrade. That's not and option. Long story.
Now, here's what I see. Create a new program. Import my model. I even have an external alignment of the corner bracket called up. However, my part is
so far away from the FOV, even doing a manual point will not happen. I KNOW that once I can get past this point, I can program just like I would with probes.
What in the heck an I missing?. 1st, I hate old software and archaic machines that I spend endless amount of time and research to no avail or outcome.
I just find it hard to believe that it could be this difficult. I have spent a lot of time reading, you tube is no help and everything leads to nothing.
IF ANYONE has some simple pointers on how to just get the CAD zeroed to a corner, I would be golden.
I'll say this. Once I import my model, the FOV is 8 inches away from the cad model and even moving the FOV to the model, It tells me I'm out of range...RRRRR.
Someone throw me a bone, please.
As always, Thanks for the input!!
