Retract distance problem

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?

  • Yes I am using auto features. I have put the prehit and retract after the DCC mode and before the hole. Am I correct in saying that in auto circle feature when the probe touches the side of the hole it should know the distsnce to return back to the center of that hole to take the next hit in the hole. I have a .094 dia hole and I am using a 1mm probe. When it retracts to take the next hit in the hole it hits the back side of the hole. Dosent the auto circle define the dia of the hole so the probe will know where it is and where to retract to. I havent tried the retract on a narrow slot I will try that this morning to see if that works. but still I am confused about the hole retract it used to work fine before we installed Cad++.
