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.
As you've worked out, the CC setting for the feature is set when it's created so if the CC isn't turned on it won't be activated for a particular feature.
In older versions - you have to go on the status tab in the Clearance cube settings to activate/deactivate CC moves for a particular feature.
In later versions, this has been moved to the Status window (View > Other Windows > Status) - when you select (move cursor to) a feature in the edit window, the CC settings for that feature will be displayed in the Status Window.
