Can you use PCM to move probe to clearance plane?

[[Ma...]]

I'm currently programming a part where near the end of the program the part has to be released from a constrained state, to a freestate. However the last point in the program before where the operator is asked to release the constraints the probe remains inside the component in CNC, so the operator cannot manually move the part away. This last feature is in a loop, so I didn't want to put a simple program stop in because this too would be looped. I've tried to put a clearance data at the end of the strategy but still no luck!
Is there a way to force the CMM to move the probe to a clearance plane? Any other non PCM method or advise would be great.

Maybe this:

positionCMM(getPositionCMM().x,getPositionCMM().y,-10)

So this would position the probe exactly where it currently is in the x and y coordinates, and drop it -10mm in z axis?

I just insert a variable via a para file in the desired axis of the
clearance plane window, or am I misunderstanding the question?

Yes, the values are in CMM coordinates.

To base alignment or machine coordinates?

To machine coordinates relative 0,0,0.

To move in any coordinate system you wish, use positionRS()

But isn't a condition based on your number of loops enough?

Seems to work now cheers.
