Best fit error on one CMM and not others

What I'm struggling with is a best fit error on one cylinder (DAT_N) on one CMM only and only when running through Inspect. I've ran the program on 4 CMMs all through Inspect (5.1) and on 3 I have no problems but on 1 CMM this error comes up. I can exit Inspect and run the program in Online mode and have no problems with this cylinder (DAT_N). I've deleted and rebuilt the probe, I've deleted the cylinder and recreated it and changed algorithms and stop / start angles and nothing I've done will let me run it through Inspect without the best fit error popping up. We are currently walking half way across the shop to run the part on 1 of the CMMs that we don't get the error.

I'm open to any and all suggestions.

  • Can you make that feature FIXED_RAD for solution method and get it to work?

    If so, can you construct (yellow icon) a cylinder from that cylinder and set it to BF. Probably need to change manually to make it say DAT_N.HITS[1..DAT_N.NUMHITS]. Does the construction of the cylinder work then?
