Planner: I'm tired of it.. Actual state in 8.0?

[[Ka...]]

Dear colleagues,

I'm slowly getting tired of working with the planner in its current desolate state! (7.4.24)
Is there any hope? What is the situation with CALYPSO 8.0?

Best regards,
Karsten

Worse for me. The performance was abysmal at first, but got fixed (at least in my case). But now I have multiple things going wrong - probes not in the right place, can't enable "stylus only" view, stylus running in the completely wrong area of the part, importing ssc files and not recognizing created styli etc.

8.0 still not working well for me either. 7.8 has been manageable at the very least.

In Karsten's situation I typically see this when both "Measurement Plan Simulation" dialog box is open along with "RDS RC position" dialog box.

Richard,

 

Unfortunately, this problem keeps cropping up. Once it has occurred, it cannot be reversed. Even Zeiss support could not find a solution other than trying to reset the base system to zero. Unfortunately, this does not really help. Creating a new test plan, loading CAD from the current ACIS file, copying measurement elements and test features from the defective Programm, and redefining the base system does not help either.
The only viable solution is to start completely from scratch.

Zeiss promised us in 2023 that everything would be better with the new version of Planner. They also promised that our CONTURA would be implemented in its dimensions of 700x700x1000, as well as the XXT probe racks. Above all, they promised that the memory leaks would be eliminated and that there would be 100% collision detection of the entire probe/XXT plate/sensor/quill and so on.

OK, a simple promise... But when I look at the reports from colleagues here who use Planner 8.0, it seems to me that the big leap forward is more like two steps back.
However: never give up...
