Fixed Delta Scan and Probe Comp problem

ReenignE
I am reverse-engineering a large structure and attempting to use a manual scan with fixed delta (i want to take a point every inch) and uncompensated points. There is no CAD data in this program.

The problem is that the points being created are being compensated relative to the orientation of the probe. the comp distance is not equal to the probe radius (15mm probe). Probe comp on or off does not make a difference.

If I use a variable delta scan with probe comp off this does not happen but I will wind up with too much data.

I've searched the help(less) files for an answer but cannot find it. Does anyone know what I am missing?

This error has cost me considerably. Tha project is off-site and very difficult to measure to begin with. I need to find a solution by tomorrow.

Thanks in advance,
Joe

    There are TWO places you should make sure that PROBE COMP is turned off in the program. BEFORE any of the scans, you need a line of code that says: 
    PROBECOM/OFF

    and you also need to turn it off in the scan window.

    You should only have to turn it off in the scan window, but BELT & SUSPENDERS as they say!

    I've never had an issue with it keeping the comp active when I have done it this way.
