Woes of Leapfrog...

I have just recently (13 Oct 2011) updated to 2011 pc-dimis and 7.1.5 WinRDS on our 5124-227 Infinite Arm. I am for the first time attempting a 'leapfrog' and cannot get it to function appropriately. After multiple failures with the 'actual' part (which is extremely cumbersome to relocate around) I set up a "test" specimen on the granite table to which we typically have the arm attached to. This specimen is a multiple compound cut square tube and plate weldment. At this point I am NOT attempting to get actual dimensional checks, I am simply attempting to get the leapfrog to WORK. As the machine / laptop is NOT connected to the local network (and various other stall points) I cannot easily post the code.

I can get the initial alignment (plane, line, point) and 'one hit' measure the diameter of several of the holes in the upper plate of this item. I then select three of these holes as my leapfrog alignment point groups. Set the probe comp OFF...start leapfrog...measure each feature five times per....then I rotate the part on the table about 90 degrees....select OK for re-positioning....re-measure each of the initial points (5 times per again)...accept the calculated measurement results...OK to insert leapfrog command...OK to close dialog box. Now I attempt to 1) measure another 'one hit' hole diameter and get "Hit Out Of Range" error. Then, I attempt to create a new plane entity and get the same message on the first hit to start defining the plane.

What am I doing WRONG???
