How to scan surface without CAD

Just started at a new company a few days ago and they have a touch trigger scanning probe (sm25). I managed to set it up with no prior knowledge of what i was doing but all ive managed is single line scans. I dont have a CAD and need to know how to do a patch scan across the surface of the part. As of right now Ive managed to map the scan without issues but when I go to finish the feature and i goes to test it, the first point just jams into the part and stops. Any ideas?

  • 1st question would be: did you do a full scan calibration for the probe you are using?

    Are your probing parameters set correctly?

    Offset force for an SP25 would be 0.1 with a point density of 10 or more

    Direction 1 tech is to set at Nullfilter, In Exec Controls RELEARN, probe comp is on. In Nominals Method MASTER. Hit Controls VECTOR
