Calibrating Probe Offset HELP!

So I just about had a heart attack today.

I'm wanting to calibrate my 5x Nikon Lens with my TP200 by1x30mmTip.

So I opened up the probe utility box

-Went to my Fixed 5x Lens tip, Calibrated to the Ring Gauge,Calibrated probe Offset-All went well with calibration, I closed out and went to select my TP200Tip
-Selected the TP200 tip and Saved my prior Tip calibration data as it asks, went to measure my tip had ring Gauge selected and right after is asked if the Calibration Tool had moved I hit NO and as soon as that happened the probe went directly down towards the table not even going towards the ring and snapped my tip! AngryAngryAngry I tried several times even after shutting down completley with the same result. Am I missing something? This was how I was instructed to Calibrate my Optics to Probe Offsets from the other programmer I work with and they have no idea what is wrong. Any ideas anyone?

    If you want to run Fixed optics and a Touch Probe in a routine, how to go go about calibrating the optics to the probe otherwise known as a probe offset I believe. In other words there is a fixed offset if I measure a feature in DCC with a touch probe and I want to re-measure the same feature with vision, the system should know the vision probe is in a different area relative to the Touch Probe. My problem is when I integrate the two probes into a routine (10x Lens and Touch Probe Both Calibrated Seperatley) when it goes to run the Vision part of the routine, the lens goes to the same area but is roughly the distance between the probes away from the feature I am trying to measure.

    Help would be greatly appeciated!
    Thanks!
