How do I avoid the below situation of a scan? I know I can turn them to points and have clearance moves around the problem prone ones, but that method hurts my eyes and my patience.
I could also adjust prehit and retract, but the time would slow down a bit for the scan.
there is a 'VARIABLE' method for scans where you enter in the MAX & MIN INCREMENT and the MAX & MIN ANG so that Pcdmis will adjust the distance between the hits based on the 'rate of change' of the surface. I've never been able to get it to work worth a crap (in "learning" mode where I would use it), but maybe you will have better luck using it on CAD. It will the tighten up the spacing around those corners so you shouldn't get those issues
i found by usings at least half the stylus size compared to the surface radius with scanning and decreasing the acceleration of the scan speed before it approaches those sharp corners helps with accuracy and trip ups.
Unless there's a note that states to ignore those radii, they are an important part of the profile and should be included in the scan. Sometimes, you can adjust the increment or shift your start and stop so that a point falls on those radii, but if the distances don't add up, you can break into multiple scans to specifically start/stop on each consecutive radius.
