Programming offline with laser tracker

I do quite a bit of programming for portable machines, both arms and trackers. If the location of each measured point in relation to the nominal cad point is critical, you can set the "Any order execute tolerance" to a low value, say 5 to 10mm (F5). If it is set too small though, it will lead to alot of frustration with the operator because they will keep getting the dreaded "hit taken outside tolerance zone" error if they are not within the defined zone.
I also create a prealignment using measured features that are close together, just to "tell the tracker where the part is", then finish the programming using auto features and refined alignments. This helps eliminate confusion when the operator starts measuring and asks "why don't the circles and lines match the model".
Full screen operator comments with pictures or drawings/diagrams help tremendously, but can get cumbersome after many executions. Put a YES/NO comment at the start of the program asking if they want to view the instruction windows, then add an IF/END IF at each operator comment. If the input is YES, the instruction comment appears, if NO, the program skips the comment.
