Current Help System: PC-DMIS CMM (View Core Help)

## Getting Started: Introduction

PC-DMIS is a powerful software with a multitude of options and useful functionality. This short section will provide you with a brief tutorial that will walk you through creating and executing a very simple part program. The purpose of this tutorial is not to train you in all the ins and outs of PC-DMIS. But if you are new to PC-DMIS, it will give you a brief exposure to the software.

As you progress, you will be introduced to creating new part programs, defining and calibrating probes, working with views, measuring part features, creating alignments, setting preferences, adding programmer comments, constructing features, creating dimensions, executing part programs, and viewing and printing reports.

Since experiencing something is one of the best teachers, jump in and give PC-DMIS a spin! Go ahead and start up your CMM, and then launch PC-DMIS for Windows if you haven't already done so. The following two links should get you started.
