I have used the clearance cube function with most of the programs I have written when I download a CAD file. Occasionally they don't work. The cube is activated, it is displayed on the graphic window and the probe paths seem to avoid it when run in offline mode, When I run the program online the probe tries to take the shortest distance through the part. Any ideas? I have tried re-writing the program and got the same result. I cant post my code here because our security protocols do not allow the CMM to be connected to our network because of the administrator privilege required to run PCDMIS.
So to summarize, if you want to use the clearance cube, turn it on immediately after loading your CAD model. If you forget, erase any auto-points that you have picked and start again. The clearance cube function is not retro-active. Please correct me if I am wrong.
