Use PCM to Select Clearance plane?

Recommended Posts

I'm attempting to use PCM to select a clearance plane and stylus.. because the machined version of this part best measures a hole from -X with a right probe, but the unmachined version needs to measure from +X with the Left probe... I have no issue with the probe selection, that was simply assign the probe number and name as text to a variable...

I thought the clearance planes would be the same but apparently not? Formula is an option so there must be a way to select a clearance plane with PCM?

Thanks!

Editing my own post because I found the answer... In the help files there is a topic called "Entering forumulas for clearance planes/clearance groups"... explains how to do it.

If you want to use the default clearance planes (CP +X, RTCP -Y and so on) the names can be an issue. I think that the names must be input as in the German version. I think that instead of CP you need to use SP. So CP +X would be SP +X. (with or without space, I don't remember). Play around with it and I'm sure you will find the right way.

Or you can just do your own sub clearance groups the names of your choice.
