Features are (*red text) in selection window, program has never been run

Hi All,

I swear I figured this out before, but what I think I did is not working...

I pulled a virgin program from a .zip file. All nominals are programmed offline (technically online connected to machine, but everything including manual features are to nominals).

The whole list of features appears red with a " * " before it (if I recall this is to indicate features that aren't true to your current run). New features I add are black. See attached.

I tried "Reset Execution List", and "Reset Measured Values to Nominal" for All, closed, closed PC-DMIS, Saved As, closed, closed PC-DMIS etc etc.

Can't get them to reset. Any ideas?

  • Run it off line.

    You mean the program itself (no PC-DMIS offline license)?

    Like open a program, then open this "red" program (to tie machine to first opened), then run the red one?

    I'll try that tomorrow morning.

    You can also drop down the menu called interface and select offline instead of the CMM. It's below the file type drop down.

    Ah, good call... works like a charm, and running in offline reset all features like Misterlocon Mike said, thanks to both of you.

    I noticed in Offline mode that the machine probe is not present either (unless pathlines are on or running program etc).. I program at 0,0,0 (technically machine home), so in online if the probe is halfway across the machine, the rotate would get sketchy if I wasn't clicking directly on a CAD surface because it was looking at a much bigger area.

    Another day, another complete change to how I do things haha.
