probe tip not measuring correctly

recently i bought new ruby ball tips for my portable romer omega arm. in my nievity i thought that different dia ruby tips could be screwed in and used with exisisting probes e.g using a 5 mm diax10mm in a 6mm dia probe. when i measure it still thinks i have a 6mm dia ball in the probe. can i change anything in pcdimis which recognises that its a 5mm ball in the probe?

  • im fairly new to it and it asks for a sphere to calibrate it on which i dont have. is their any other way of calibrating it?

    NOPE, you should have a certified calibration artifact (which is 99.9999999% of the time a sphere). If they don't have one and haven't had one, then all measurements from your shop fall under the SUSPECT heading since the critical features of the measurement process (the probe) has not been calibrated.
