tip approach vector

got this part running

clearance cube set to -X approach and retract for the probe tip

the middle rows of holes work out just fine

but im trying to probe the upper rows of holes and the tip is trying to approach from the +X direction

thoughts??

and please dont say "just give up on the clearance cube"!! ive found it very useful :-)

  • On the other hand I haven't used clearance cube since finishing level 2 training class years ago. Found move/point normal, increment & clearplane options to be way better. Try those. I found CC to be cumbersome & prone to smashing up probes if you're not too careful. And the latest pc dmis versions (2020-2022) don't help much either. Very buggy & prone to mess up CC big time. I would recommend too switching from summary mode to command mode. Better program control, better understanding of what's going on & easier time to fix things when you see more on the edit window screen.
