If I put text at the end of the program with the formula (positionCMM) will CMM use basic alignment or CMM coordinates?
We don't have PCM 🙁
Is it correct to do this?
Thank you

Have you considered using CNC End Park Position found under Plan > Navigation?

Yes
I use, but collided with CMM because I used another CMM base space to perform the measurement.
I found nothing there that is not related to the basic alignment or position referred to the master probe.
I believe that using CMM coordinates, I can measure the part in any CMM space that will not collide or end of stroke. ("I hope that's right my thinking")


Thank you

The first icon on the left will move to a position of the current stylus relative to the Base Alignment. The 2nd icon is similar but moves to a position as though the Master Probe is loaded relative to the BA. The 3rd icon moves to a position as though the Master Probe is loaded relative to Machine Zero.

So Tom, I have a program that utilizes the rotary. At programs end, the rotary is 180 deg from zero, and I need a CNC end park position to get the stylus clear (the operators have broke stylus unloading the part). The problem is that because the rotary is not at zero when the program finishes, the CNC end park position I did try, (the first icon) causes a collision. I do have a PCM command the sends the rotary home, but that happens after the CNC end park. It sounds like that 3rd icon might work for me?

Are you able to use a rotary position and or/ clearance data with RT position at the end of the feature to go to 0° and clear stylus?
That's what I would do / usually do.

Clarke, I handle this as follows..

Have a clearance plane using RTCP +Z with an offset of 2"

Then add in a rotary position to Zero (last icon 'rotary position absolute' looks like a rotary platter)

Then add in clearance plane using RTCP +Y with an offset of 2"
