I'm trying to calibrate a 1mm (ball dia) x 3mm (length) star probe on a 25mm sphere. The probes want to rotate around that sphere at the equator, but it's too small to get good hits. What are the settings that I can input to move where the probes take their hits?
You can change your start and end angles in the calibration dialog box so that it probes less of the sphere. Or, I used a 5X50 stylus as a cal sphere....
I like your idea of using a 5x50 to calibrate the star probe (we use the same star probe as mentioned above), but if the star probe is my second probe in the program and the first one is my Number 1 (3x30 reference probe), then the calibration of the Number 1 would still have to be done on the same 5x50 probe, right?

You 'Could" theoretically make a separate probe file and calibrate the 3x30 probe at location 1 with a normal cal sphere independently from the star probe, but you WILL be introducing uncertainty between the probes and calibration methodologies.
