Good day all,
I am attempting to start programming using a read point alignment. I am either not doing it right at all or I think the issue might be that I am using clearance cube.
Put a comment telling you/your operator where to put the probe. Ensure the comment says somethign along the lines of "Pressing Okay to this will engage DCC Mode".
Turn on DCC Mode.
Put your read point. Then align to said read point.
Note that you still have not physically touched your part. In order to use clearance plane or cube to move around your part, you have to be PHYSICALLY aligned because a read point alignment is treated as REFERENCE ONLY by the software.
So, do what I've laid out and then use move/point or move/increment to get around your part until you've physically established an alignment. Once a legit alignment has been made THEN turn on clearance plane or the cube, then start rockin and rollin with your program.
