Improve Probe Appearance in Grapic Display Window

I haven't seen anyone mention this on the forum so I thought I should make sure everyone knows that you can increase the tessellation value on the probe to make it appear better on screen. It also makes collision detection work better with small diameter probes (Less false positive collisions detected - it also helps to have the tessellation value set smaller on the part model).

In the registry there is a setting called ProbeTessellationMultiplyValue. The default is 1. I prefer it to be set at 0.1.
Below is a close up of a 1mm stylus with different settings for comparison.

Set that sh_it at .01 it'll be even smoother, if your piece of crap video card can handle it.

{"data-align":"none","data-size":"large","data-attachmentid":501528}

Yes! I keep all of my tessellation values at .01 in PC-DMIS. I also like to max out the slider in Solidworks (see pic below) to get rid of facets in that software too. Put that video card to work!
