qual. tool locations not updating (v3.7 MR3)

I'm using v3.7 mr3. I qualify on a 1" sphere, "yes" to has it moved. This updates that spheres XYZ definition.
I switch probe configurations, select the same sphere, "no" it hasn't moved. The spheres' definition is not the same as after the first qualify, so the probe heads for an old location. This is a new trick, hasn't given me any trouble before. I tried adding a new "tool". This fixes the problem, but only once. For now,
I have to add a new tool (deleting some old ones) each time I start. What up?

are you sure ninjabadger?

I'm almost positive that it doesn't update the tool position for all probes. I've Calibrated a probe, changed to another and hit "no, it has not moved" and it went to the old qualification tool position

Cappy,
They are correct.

Everybody,
Name your qual sphere tools with obviously unique names (letters, numbers, underscores only)

Then when you go to calibrate, make sure the correct tool is selected.

Also, if you're running Windows 7 make double extra sure you've got full admin rights and are running PC-DMIS As Administrator. Otherwise it won't save diddly-squat.
