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?
Matthew D. Hoedeman does this apply to a circle also? If I have a cylinder on my table (Z+) from which an arc for example starting at 10DEGS (almost 3 o clock) and finishing at 80 Degs (12o clock) and want 5 points for a manual circle, is it ok if I just probe all points going -X direction? I am always trying to be somewhat normal to my probings but not usre if this is the best practice
