I have had pretty good luck using optimize path on just small portions of a measuring routine, where the probe and probe angle doesn't change. You get some pretty wild moves and the order of the features can seem all over the place. Watching it run, you have no idea where it is going next. CMM operators had a fit
I agree with
BIGWIG7 , I didn't feel it was worth the headache. Going back and editing/revising those programs is a pain.
