I am new to PC-DMIS and our machine was just installed. As I am constructing my manual alignment, I am asked "Do you want to make Y- or X+ the active workplane? I didn't notice this at the training center. Should I use the "don't ask me this again" in this case?
I would guess that you probably 'twitched' while measuring the plane, Pcdmis looks at the direction the machine is moving when the contact is made to try to figure out what you are measuring. Try moving in ONLY one axis to measure a plane, you do NOT need to try to measure it 'normal' to the surface.
