    I was curious if anybody has used a microscribe digitizer with the
    solidworks plugin. Did it
    work well , what were the problems with the software or hardware ect...
    Thanks in advance.

    Rocko,

    I remember when RevWorks came out people were making allot of noise about
    it. It worked with Microscribe. It could be that at that time SW wasn't very
    good at handling the spline data it produced or something else, but you
    don't hear much about it anymore. They are still in business though
    http://www.revworks.com/default.htm

    You might get the some of the info you need there. Real world success
    stories might be a bit more difficult.

    Regards

    Mark

    we used to use a microscribe for reverse engineering but found the accuracy
    (and repeatability) very poor. Ended up getting a Faro arm. We also tried
    Revworks but had a hard time justifying it. Much easier to use Rhino to
    gather the data and import in SW.
