CMM vision error in manual mode

I keep getting the error: "Hit target is out of detection range for feature ___"

This is when I am in manual mode and trying to take a hit using an auto feature. I don't get this error when I first create the auto feature (say an edge point). What I am trying to do is manually set up a coordinate system for the rest of the program to go off of.

The issue comes when I go to measure the second part after creating the program based off of the first part. I am only able to position the new part to within 100s of micrometers and I then get this error message. If I take a bunch of time and get the second part pretty close to lined up (less than 10 micrometers) to where the first part was then I don't get this error message. The only work around that I have found so far is to recreate all of my manual hits each time I measure a new part. This seems extremely inefficient and I feel that there must be a better way to do this or a way around this error message.

Thank you for any suggestions!

  • I'm not at the cmm, but in the feature window, there's a icon that you canselect, it allows a manual position, whatever was the first one (manual pre position ?)


    If you could describe what this icon looks like it would be extremely helpful! I'm currently making sure that I am in Manual Mode(Alt+X) - looks like a joystick - but that's the only icon that I'm checking.
