Custom Probe Builder Utility

I have scoured every thread on the forum about custom probes and how to build/save them. I recently purchased 1MM and 1.5MM x 21MM probes. My drop down list has, for the most part, tips in increments of 10mm. It seems possible that I can calibrate to, say, a 1x25mm and everything would seemingly fall in line, but I'd really like to set this up more properly.

I had Hexagon build these probes after I gave it a shot, just to be sure I was doing it correctly. And I can pull up those files in the customer probe builder. After I see the IGES files for these probes, I don't really know how to go from there. Do I need to build everything from the "CAD Component" and "Component Builder" up? All I really want is the new tip itself to be in the drop down box, so I can add to the right connections?

Essentially - where do I go from the SS attached?

  • So I attached Hexagon's tip build for me. This is my first time doing this, obviously. I do not know the exact coding numbers for my connects (HH-AS8-T7.5, TESA_TMA, TesastarMP_Body_US, TesastarMP_Module_SF_US), and when I tried to reference other probes I got pretty encrypted text in word pad.

    I am also wondering if I need to build those connects in the Custom Probe Builder utility from scratch - if the .IGES files would be saved somewhere for them - in order to save this tip item. I can't seem to get to that next step, how/where/what to save to get this option to populate.

    Training is obviously lacking at this point, but I am really trying to figure this one out. Thank you for any help.
