I've been trying to find a feature that allows me to virtually move my probe when programming offline using the pendant.
I am having no luck. Is there a feature that allows me to do this or would this be a feature worth adding to future builds of the software?
Instead of using clearance planes and clearance cube,
I want to be able to quickly insert move points in space and I find the easiest way to do that would be to virtually control the machine and then use ctrl-m to add a move point.
I basically want to be able to move the CMM virtually instead of physically using the physical pendant remote.
I often create a feature first, then use RIGHT CLICK "move probe to feature", then use Program Mode to make move points OUT of the feature. Then, use the same move points in reverse order as the moves INTO the feature.
