Alright, they are having a open house at the nashville BnS in under 2 weeks. What I would like to know is this:

What errors - or bugs are you seeing?
How do you like the 'new' version?

I am trying to arm myself before I go. Last time I think they had just released 3.7 mr1. No-one was even using 3.7 at the open house at that time.

So, if ya have any input, please post it here.

Thanks!
Kevin

hey my friends i would love to go HOWEVER we had a management change last july and i went from hero to zero. i used to do all the cmm programming here. they sent 2 young men from our engineering group to bns training, took my software,my dongle, and assigned all the cmm programming to our engineering dept. i am basically reduced to a "consultant" now when someone needs help and run cmm programs on our zeiss machines. i'm the only one here that can program umess 300. so i seriously doubt that i can go last time they had a users group meeting in nashville- i took a vacation day and went on my own expense. everyone else there had expenses paid by their companies,hotel room,gas,etc. such is life.

That sucks. I was hoping you could go also...

Hi all,
Yeah, I got the invite this morning. Unfortunately, I'll be traveling to Detroit that day on a business trip. I doubt I would have gotten to go anyway.
Question - Have any of you been to one of these things and gotten anything out of it? I admit I haven't been to one, but it seems like more of a sales demo to me. Having been to a training class or two at the Nashville site, I'm wondering how many complaints/questions they'll tolerate.

[rebeldude]

I trained there. They are good people and knowledgable. I'm sure its not a sales demo because we DO have a maintenence agreement and basically have already paid for it. In my email from them, they encouraged asking questions. Hope more of you all can go!

Would someone ask if they plan on changeing the way they charge for SMA's
No way will the company I work for pay what they ask now and we would owe for 2 years back

[kbotta]

Sure, I'm your huckleberry!!

I would like to know how the reproting area works. The RTF's are now 2meg, and I cant change the nominals in feature control frames for TP withoutit crashing.

I have not been in to see what other things are wierd.

[tenndoc]

Hey Kev - where'd you get the info on the open house?

[Axel45]

What was the date on this event?

[cmmguy]

aahhh... Open House = Sales Event. They will lock all of you guys up in a little room with warm pepsi and stale peanuts to keep you away from real customers
