Definations of probe (code samples)

Where can you get a list of codes for probe definations? Like to build some disk probes. Need to add them to the library. Running 4.1.
Thank you.

    http://pcdmiswiki.org/index.php?title=UsrProbe.dat

    To edit a disk probe file from the PCDMIS parent folder file: PROBE.DAT

    Make sure to change properties from "read only".

    Click on file and it will open in Notepad.

    Find and copy a similar disk probe file... EX: ITEM:TIP20MMDISK M2

    Paste as another name, perhaps the disk size you want to create... EX: ITEM:TIP14MMDISK M2

    Now, edit appropriate parameters from... EX: "hotspot 0 0 -70.5 0 0 1 20 1.0 disk" to "hotspot 0 0 -70.5 0 0 1 14 1.5 disk"

    And make sure to also change the graphical from for collision detection (if used) and so that it looks like what you have created... EX: "cylinder 0 0 -71 0 0 -20" to "cylinder 0 0 -71 0 0 -14"

    Save the edited PROBE.DAT file.

    Change properties back to "read only".

    Study and experiment.

    You'll figure it out.
