find hole settings

I have some .080 dia. holes that are about .150 out of location, how can I get it to search farther out?

  • I have an .080 dia hole not much room for prehit


    Not a problem with auto circles. The actual prehit value, when measuring a hole diameter, maxes out at the hole radius minus the probe radius. In other words, if the prehit value is set very large, it defaults to starting all the hits from the center of the hole.

    If you set the prehit at 0.25, the find hole spiral pattern would go out a max of 0.25 from the target center. Once if finds the hole, and begins to measure the diameter, it will take hits out radially from that point. It will not go the full prehit distance while measuring the diameter.
