Occasionally, when I start a new program offline, the simulated probe graphic location will get messed up and be completely offset from the simulated points that it is taking. Graphically, the probe will be be performing its motions out in space many inches from the CAD and feature while it is simulating measuring said feature. This does not correct itself when I move the program online, for the program it seems as though the live probe graphic is permanently cursed. This makes the probe graphic totally useless when programming offline, I've never even attempted collision detection when it is like this, seems like it would be a pointless waste of time. I suspect this has something to do with the machine graphic, because when I delete the machine graphic the probe gets closer to proper position, but still far enough away to be useless. I don't know if this a CAD problem, an alignment problem, a machine graphic problem, a transform problem, a bad setting, a bug?? I'm using 2020.2 CAD++ on a Hexagon Global S Blue with a HP-S-X1H on an HH-AS8-T2.5.
How do I prevent this in the future? How do I fix the programs that already have this condition... such as the one I'm trying to work on now.
You might start by deleting (or renaming and saving away) the probe file, and creating a new one from scratch. See if that resolves the issue? Maybe there is something confusing about the probe file itself?
nb: I did some further research and this is what I found in our PCD-201969 . . . .
. . . . . checked back to 2013MR1 with a tactile probe and this has existed for a long time. ......... So if you have a rotary table active, offline, without animated machine. The rotary table matrix is applied to the drawing. . . . .
