Probe trying to go through part to get to next feature.

This is a newly created program. Where would I go to see if there is a hidden point somewhere. What I was looking to do was a sperate clearance move before and after each hit so it wouldn't go thru the part but I just cant figure it out.

Either open each point, so you can see the yellow vector arrow in the CAD window. Or the faster way: Go to CAD settings / Strategy and set the checkmark at "show strategy when element selected" (rough translation, I don't have an English Calypso at hand right now).
After that you only need to select a point feature in the features tab to see the arrow. See if one is pointing in the wrong direction. The CMM always tries to probe against the arrow.
To see the vectors, with the feature open, you may have to right click on the cad screen and select "show nominal points".
If one of the vector arrows is pointing the opposite direction, it will try to go thru the part to access it.

Another thing to look at, open the feature strategy and select the points list, then when the point list opens up, select "special data" to show what stylus each point is using. If one of the stylus's is not like the others, it can also cause what you're experiencing.

I had problems with too many blocked edges in the past. When the program picked up a probe from a storage bay to the far left or right of the part, I sometimes got error messages that it couldn't reach a clearance plane. I then had to move the probe behind the part in X before restarting the program.
