Flip part mid execution

I'm currently working with an Absolute Arm 85 equipped with the RS6 scanner. I was wondering if it is possible to create a program that calls for the part to be scanned, then flipped mid execution in order to account for tolerances of the entire part. Basically I am trying to scan and check an entire part in one chunk of code rather than having to perform two separate scans.

  • is there any way you could give me a little more insight into leapfrog? I am trying to use it for a different part now, and the f1 help page for it on PC Dmis is not really helping me.

    Essentially, I am trying to perform a bunch of surface profiles on points I have picked. I am able to do this on one side of the part, however when I go to do the other side it runs but it lists every point on that side and says it needs more scan data. So, for some reason I'm not collecting data when I scan for a second time. I feel like this may be a good situation to use a leapfrog, however I frankly haven't been able to figure it out. If you have any advice for me that would be appreciated.

    Obviously I encourage anyone to jump in on this discussion I only tagged Matt because he originally brought the idea of leapfrog to my attention.
  • Matthew, so after I probe my 3 points and insert the leapfrog into my program, should I remove the points and execute it? Does it work because I told it where the part was going to be? And in that case would it get messed up if I do not put the part in the exact same spot when scanning as it was during the measuring of my leapfrog?

    Sorry for asking so many questions I know you haven't used it in a long time.
