Scan paths broken after execution

Has anyone ever seen a linear open or closed scan path do this after execution? I slowed down the scan speed but it still manages to break up. This is affecting my constructed features.

  • That's really weird.  I can't say I've seen that before.  It looks like the points density is modulating somehow. 

    My best guess is that the surface is too rough for that probe, and it is kind of skipping along the surface.  Maybe try reducing your scanning acceleration value so it can better compensate?  If that doesn't do it, maybe try a larger probe diameter.
