Surface Point not updating values

I'm pretty new to PC-DMIS. Running 2010MR1 on an Optiv. I'm having issues with surface points updating their X & Y coordinates when taking hits in manual mode after creating them. Z does update. Is this part of the surface point auto feature where it just measures Z? Here's the test program that I'm using. Any ideas?

  • Hi Clederer,
    Do you by any chance have snap turned on inside of the surface point dialog box? If this is on, it tells PC-DMIS to snap all reeor along the surface vector so it will ignore deviation in other directions. Since your vector is set to 0,0,1 it will snap all deviation along that vector which would be only on the Z direction, so the X and Y would be ignored. . .
