  • stick with a ball probe.  While there is an option to 'calibrate' the shank, there is no place within Pcdmis to signify that you are using the shank for measurements.  The further the probe is away from 100% perpendicular to the edge, the more error you are adding to the results as ALL data comes from 'the ball' of the probe.

    ALSO, I would suggest you get out of the habit of using a surface sample hit for the edge point, instead use a VECTOR (or surface) point on the surface next to where you want to measure the edge, and measure the edge point relative to that point.  ALL data for an edge point comes from the 'corner' of the surface you click on to make the edge point, Pcdmis can NOT see if the surface is a radius, all it sees is the XYZIJKI2J2K2 at that exact point on the edge where you clicked, so the sample hit will give you a 'false' position if the surface isn't flat.
