I have been working on the same thing here trying to get the three CMMs to run one program with a master location. We made sub plates with a central location and I created the program to save the zero point of the plate on each of these machines. It recalls fine at the individual level and even when you open the program up on a different machine after just running it on a different machine. Load the part at the zero point and move the probe down to zero it looks good but when I click on th marked set to run it. The locations from the manual pickup change to match that of the previous machine, the machine envelopes and home positions are not quite the same about 6 inches different. Everything looks good until I press execute then all heck breaks loose.

I want to be able to utilize one program with out manually picking the part up every time no matter what machine I am on. In the old Measure Max software I was able to dictate the home position of each machine so the center of the table of each machine was zero. I have not tried skipping the manual pickup all together by deleting it and going straight to DCC programming yet. Any ideas?
