2014 cad plus vision probe graphics

I am using 2014 cad plus vision and when I am offline programming the touch probe head jumps around making hard to program.

  • Ok.


    It's supposed to move. It's a graphic representation of a live system, which also moves.

    EDIT:
    Vision is also next to impossible offline Smiley


    Yes this can be the case for a lot of parts. However, what I have found works to simulate the lighting is, I turn the INTERFAC.dll to INTERFAC.old. This way it gives me full vision capabilities to adjust lighting levels. Otherwise, without doing this, I can't adjust lighting levels and it would require me to program at the machine and not offline. CAD models help too!

  • Yep; I've done so as well. It's a bit tedious, and certainly not perfect, but it gets the job done.
    I find that if I can get myself some time on the actual CMM, I'll take a few minutes to get all of the illumination settings saved somewhere for whichever feaure
    (e.g. "If I"m measuring a hole, I want this lighting, a notch, I want that, chromed or blank, I want this") then use those settings in the offline program.
    Not exactly easy to do if you don't have access to the machine, buuuuuut...
