Good Morning! I'm new to using CAD models. I only used them in class. I created a manual plane, line, point alignment to make the model aligned with the machine. The problem I'm having is when I change my alignment or workplane, my points are no longer aligned with my model. They are offset and mess up my dimensions. Do I need to continually redo the manual alignment to keep everything where it should be or am I missing something else? Thanks in advance!
Quick question. I noticed in
DAN_M pic of the calibration details (great stuff) that almost everything in the 'Measure Probe' window is NOT greyed out. With mine, everything is greyed out unless I select a Partial Calibration. I'm just curious, is this something that I'm missing? I believe I have calibration issues. At times I feel like I have it down, then at other times I feel confused because my A90B180 tip will take a point in a different Z location than if I took that same hit in A90B0 or A0B0, etc. Sorry if this isn't truly related, I can make a new post.
Your options are greyed out because you are using a Renishaw SP25. The SP25 has to use a Renishaw supplied algorithm for calibration so anything that would conflict with this is greyed out to prevent people from adversely affecting the calibration. When you choose partial calibration, it follows a greatly reduced procedure which only updates the probe offsets and touch trigger parameters so you have greater control over what you can change.
