[Lo...] Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hello everyone, I am a complete rookie with this CMM , but learning in a hurry. I'm using an Accura with a Vast XT head. I am trying to probe a horizontal tube with several bore diameters and steps as well as features on top of the part. But when I am using horizontal probes, number 5 and 3. The probes travel straight down on top of the tube instead of traveling -X and then traveling in on +X to measure the diameters and steps. I have set my clearance planes pretty far apart on both -X and +X but I am not sure what I am missing. Thank you for any assistance. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 For the -X features, do you have "Clearance Group CP -X? Same for the +X features. They should have Clearance Group CP +X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Am...] Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 You have to select the clearance group to be x- or x+ it sounds like its trying to come in from +z and it doesn't matter how far your clearance plane is it will keep doing that until you change that feature to x-. Easiest way is to open the feature and change it right there in the top left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
