Hello all - I am new to pc-demis..former Catia NC programmer. The man that performed this task passed away so I am trying to help. He used probe tip MP1 in a previous version. When I try to modify the probe tip from within the software it does not take. The folder it lives in is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hexagon\PC-DMIS\2020 R1 which on this pc is read-only. When trying to un-check it reverts back to read-only. Can the probe files be stored in a different location where I have write access? and if so how to I change the search path within pc-demis. Thank you
I just found out the details on this... It is a little strange to me, but it does work as it was described to me.
The PC-DMIS probe utility is designed so that if the probe is purely nominal (never been calibrated, or the calibration has been reset) then the edits to it are not accepted.
Once the probe has been calibrated, then the edits can be done and saved.
Just tried it out myself, and it works exactly as described.
If you need to modify the nominal values of the probe before calibration, you need to make a custom probe with the custom probe builder, or create a probe in the USRPROBE.DAT file with the desired nominals.
