i can probe this diameter manually.

and it actually starts to probe in DCC but while moving in the +Y direction i get the following error



thoughts???

  • Maybe I'm mentally picturing this scenario all FUBAR, but if you can manually probe it... hmmm.
    Do you have an 'avoidance move' ON? Personally, am not a big fan of that option in auto-features::::::
  • There are cases where you can manually probe something, yet DCC will not due to the way Pcdmis treats DCC moves based on the PREHIT/RETRACT settings. Unless you use a CHECK command, Pcdmis wants to be able to go TWICE as far as the PREHIT/RETRACT values, if it can not, then it will give that error, even though you can still manually reach & measure it. SO, if you are measuring a circle whose edge is 3mm INSIDE the machine limit, you can measure it manually all day long, BUT, if your PREHIT/RETRACT is set to more than 1.5, then it will pop up that error.
