I made a simple program in the offline mode with the model on the CMM. After I do the manual alignment (plane-circle-circle) it seems to measure everything with an offset. In DCC mode it measures the plane a few hundred thousandths off and crashes on the side of the first circle as if the circle is too small. I've verified the vectors are correct on the model and on the alignment features (and they are aligned in the correct order). The main hole is over 2" and I changed the hole diameter to .375 in the program and it still wants to crash. I've tried CAD=part, I've moved the manual alignment around, and few other tricks but it just doesn't want to run. The path lines look good and simulates perfect. This is the 3rd time on this machine this has happened. I've never seen this problem before. This machine is really ticking me off! It's a 6month old Hexagon global performance running PCdmis 2015.0 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1) don't use anything but letters numbers and underscores in feature / dimension / alignment names - so call it DAT_A not -A-
2) You've alignments which don't constrain all 6 degrees of freedom (i.e. you've a level and an origin on that axis, but no rotation), some will point to this being the problem. It might be, but it's likely there's something else amiss.
Little trick - even when not using CAD, click CAD=Part after your manual alignment, this will correct your manual alignment Theo values.
