scanning questions

JFournier
I'm trying to create scan points along this contour, but the scanning tools are not that intuitive. I've read a bunch of posts on here and tried just about all of the scan options and the only ones that give me points that make any sense are the section cut (shown here) and the free form.

I have two questions: 1. When I execute this measurement offline, the probe starts at point 1 and just follows a straight line to the last point (along the RED arrow), without hitting the other points in between. How do I fix that?

2. Why are these move lines there (GREEN arrows) and how do I get rid of them?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I'm using a TTP

  • I don't know the answer to your second question. That may be a feature of the newer software - I'm a few versions behind. It looks like some sort of pathline preview.

    However, I might be able to help with your first question. Hit 'F5' to get to the Setup dialog. Click on the 'Animation' tab. Change the 'Scan animate every NPts:' value to 1.

    I suggest you avoid scanning over sharp corners as you are in that screenshot. It can be hard for the probe to find the correct hit vectors along sharp corners (both internal and external). If you want to have one scanned feature that includes both of those surfaces, you can break that up into two separate scans and then combine them in a feature set (basically a scan constructed from points).
