running PCDMIS as a lean system

[David Kick]

Where do I go to find out how PCDMIS should be installed? I get different ideas depending on who I ask. It is my understanding that PCDMIS is a memory hog. So how much memory do I need what file paths do i need to operate with, etc? If I just make copies of all my program files and run them on the same drive that holds PCDMIS won't that eliminate a lot of communication problems. I believe that just making backups of all my files is the best use of the network. This company has one CMM so I don't see the need for running programs from a network.
Thank yo for any rsponse

Hodeman is the Man!

P.S. Welcome to the forum! Click on "Man" it is a hot link to a thread that covers this.

Many Thanks

This is a good place to start. This will be the first time I have been involved in untangling a PCDMis instalation. There is a lot of chances for screwing this up. Wish me luck.

Good Luck! ! ! Just follow Matt's advice and you should be fine. Oh yeah, and whatever you do, don't let your IT person get involved! hahahahahahahaha

[David Kick]

Thank you.
This will be on my head from now on. The rest of the company will rely on me to make PCDMIS work the way it should. I am looking forward to being able to keep up with latest technology. Another ability that would be helpful would be to upload information in Excel spreadsheet format.

You can output results to excel spreadsheets. There have been many discussions about how to do that on this forum. I don't do it myself, so I can only point you in the right direction. There is a search button near the top of the forum, you might try that or you might try starting a new thread with the subject "export to excel" or something like that, then scroll to the very bottom of the window and you will see that the forum automaticly generates a list of similar threads. In general you can learn a lot about this software just by reading various posts on this board. You can also laugh a lot if you are not narrowminded. HTH

Thank you Wes. I have been laughing since I started to use this bulletin board.
Some people should all be on valium.

David,

The Wilcox site has a script that sends data to Excel. I don't have the link handy, but as Wes said, if you look here you will find it.
All Wes's advice is sound, except whenhe starts about whiskey being better than beer. But what does he know, he is from Texas.

John

DOH! This thread may have what you want!

John,
Did you mean ROTFLMAO??? I do not recall saying Whiskey is better than beer, only that it is better than most things and deserves recognition. I like beer, but I like the Water of Life better, so with all the praise of beer I occasionly throw in a good word for Whiskey. I only bash bad beer, not all beer.

So I took some guesses, here they are:
