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?

  • try using "find hole" first before measuring.
    small hole + small tip = problem if the hole is out of position

    If the hole size & tip size combo meand the prehit/retract will take it past the centre, it will move to the centre, however like pwhitsa says, if it's out of position it doesn't know that (intil it's measured it)

    Using 'find hole' with 'centre' option selected, it wil know where the roughh centre is in order to peform the measurement.
