Programmatically add tips to the probes list...

Does anyone know how to programmatically add tips to the probes list? I have tried unsuccessfully, it appears to add the angles as I can see the Active Tip list flash (Green and red boxes in pic) but upon the completion of the VB app I look in the Active Tip list and none of the 'added' tips are there.

PCD 2018R1
VB.net 2019
Dual Arm Bravo

Here is the command I used to add the the tips...


PCDapp.ActivePartProgram.Probes.Item(1).Tips.Add(A_Ang, B_Ang)

I understand that ' Item(1)' is the first probe file in the directory of probe files and that it's 'one based', not 'zero based'...at least based on my experimentation.

What lead me to this method was to find a method that can be scalable and try to limit the number of separate scripts and applications created. The one difficult part that I found was the limitation of building the Parameter sets using a star probe builds with multiple probe qualification tools. Especially for the 5-way star probe builds for Tip 5 with a rotational wrists head.

The whole key to my problem was that I didn't see this one command in the Object Library...that command being:

_SaveChanges()_

That caused many days of headaches and doubting myself. Thank you, Gagedude!! Your snippet of code proved to be invaluable.
