Loadprobe from touch trigger to scanner operator still required to change in RDS, WHY?

Question

So we just got an arm, and i have a couple simple programs where they start with 3m probe, then at the end it switched to the scanning**. Yet the operator still has to hold down the button and switch down. Why does the loadprobe command not switch it over like polyworks does>?

CHANGED SCANNING PROBE TO SCANNING** I TYPE BAD

But it's nice to work with cnc parts. Makes for measuring simple and fast when using an arm. Unless you have very tight tolerances. We did medical parts that were cnc machined and then yes you would want to be using a stationary cmm.

But for car parts etc. I feel a roamer arm does a great job and can quickly give you feedback especially using the laser. And doing high volume of parts, tesla wanted every single part measured.
