I just had Cad++ installed and I am having problems when I probe a hole and my probe retracts past the center of the hole and hits the back of the hole which inturn retracts and hits the front of the hole and goes into a loop of back and forth hits. I went to F10 then to motion and changed my prehit and retract distance but it did not help at all. Could a setting changed when Cad++ was installed? If so how do I fix it?

I have a suspicion that this is happening while manually probing the circle. If this is the case, you need to change the MANRETRACT value to something suitably small. For instance if you are working in inch mode, enter MANRETRACT/.020 in the edit window before you start taking hits.
I can't recall off the top of my head which dialog box this is in, but once you track it down, you can set it in the dialog and press the "Defaults" button and it will be saved as default.
