Anyone ever seen this ?? weird issue with planes__circular moves toggle disappearing

DAN_M
Using 2021.1 SP5..

Measuring planes with circular hit pattern. They're autofeatures & points generated using the TTP_PLANE_CIRCLE method.

ALL of the above referenced planes had CIRCULAR MOVE toggled ON inside the autofeature dialogue box.

Program has run successfully over 30 times..has been locked in operator mode...nobody changed this routine/saved anything since the day I approved it and locked it down.



Today, all of a sudden, none of the autofeature planes have circular moves toggled on and now the probe crashes into the OD of the part.

I fixed the issue already...but why/how did this happen??? How did a totally locked down program that has run a few dozen times all of a sudden change a toggle for exactly 16 features (AND ONLY those features...not any others in the program)??? ConfusedConfused

Any ideas ? :scream;

  • I was just curious. Through out PC-DMIS there have been weird sh_it that happens on one and just one program only. I experience, about every other program. I create a new program, bring in the CAD and before I do anything, I put it DCC MODE and go to make a Linear closed scan, and every other time I Can NOT it will not select the surface like it don't exist. So I close it out, create New program name it the same, "That program exist Do you want to overwrite?" YES, Bring the same CAD model back in, do the same thing as before, sure enough now the surfaces light up and I can select my points.

    I had that happen just a few days ago when trying to construct a sphere on a tooling ball on a check fixture. At first I thought it was just bad CAD. Created a program to check the fixture. Then created a second program to check the parts on it. First one when I selected the Tooling Ball with a sphere it didn't automatically select the whole sphere and it did the red dot thing where you can select multiple locations on a surface and create a sphere. I ended up using a circle to find the center and just switched it to a sphere.

    On the second program I created a sphere and it worked fine. Twas strange. The only difference between the programs was one was in inches and the other was in mm.
