Best scan selection

So, I am very new to the idea of scanning, worse yet I will be learning how to set it up in an offline seat. Not that I have an issue with this, but I've always heard scanning at the machine is much easier. Any who:

Any suggestions on what type of scan would allow me to make 1 continuous scan of this set of features? I've run through the whole list, and I really don't want to be "stitching" an awful lot of linear open scans together to do it. But if thats all I can do, I'd rather just find out about it now than waste anymore time trying to get something to work.

Thanks

  • So, it has been a while and I completed writing an entire program, now going through the trouble-shooting phase. I must say, THANK YOU for the help I have recieved here! Hopefully there is more to come:

    I've started to mess around with the OPT probe settings moreso lately along with the "max" increment. This option is really puzzling me. When I had first established a scan along a R0,40mm it showed me about 20 hits it was willing to recoup the data for. Since the initial settings, I have upped the point alotment in the opt probe settings and brought the "max" increment down to less than 50% of what it had originally been set to, you would likely expect (atleast I did) that this would allow for MORE points to be taken by the scan. However the MOST points I get now are 2-6 in most of these. I get higher number of points showing up in the scan when I use a max increment of say .002 and am ranging from 2-4 using .0008, anyone have any idea what could make something like this happen?

    Do I need to reset my 'D' in my scan dialog box? Thats the only thing I can see that continues to shift itself. My start and end points remain the same as they had been when I first created the scan and have stayed the same durring any edits or running of the part program.
