Vision Crashes When Measuring Circles

Running PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 SP5 on Windows 7 PC connected to an Optiv Performance z443
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello!
I have several part programs that run though to completion using touch probes
I received a part that requires vision due to the crossholes (there are a lot) being generally too small

So I created the part program and was faced with many issues...
(Such as all of the numbers randomly changing by thousandths, leaving me to clean up everything with 0+0's!)

However, it is done, and I'm trying to check it, but it crashes at the first measurement.

Strangely enough, it worked before!

I have not been able to run this program all of the way through, it only crashes when it measures a crosshole.

The way the program is set up is it performs an alignment using the touch probe, then switches to the camera
The camera looks for a crosshole, and if it does not find it, it rotates 180° and tries again (where it will find it, or we made the part wrong!) Otherwise it continues as normal.

However pretty much since I added the "OnError" stuff it starts crashing at the hole.

I was able to verify that it works (the OnError) previously, and, upon this discovery, moved on to programming the rest of the part.
I needed to get the crosshole perfect or I couldn't measure the part, you see.

So it worked for a bit, but not anymore, and it keeps crashing. Strange!

I tried to measure a different hole in the same program, and had the same issue.

What's going on?

  • When I go to edit the feature (as in I click the feature and press F9, or Right Click and choose Edit) I am able to open up the window that shows the properties of the auto circle. When I change anything (turn focus on or off, adjust the focus by anything, adjust lighting, change location, etc) PC-DMIS crashes and gives me the error reporting window

    EDIT: Interestingly enough, I was able to adjust the program to have slightly different construction. It is now able to take points on the hole, however it doesn't continue execution. Like at all.

    It moves over the hole, it freezes, it takes its little green dots, but then it just sort of sits there as if it's having trouble sending the data or something
