New machine tab / planner - Nominal points created are incorrect

[[Ni...]]

Good afternoon,

In summary I created a new machine tab / offline planner as we are purchasing a new CMM. After creating the planner, if I go to drop a single point on a CAD model the probing point shows different actual to nominal locations; intially before hitting 'OK' to create the point the actual coordinates displayed is the correct position. Once I hit 'OK' to create the point it moves locations to what is shown in the 'nominal' geometry which is not the correct position...See images below.

 

Image one shows a point creation, notice how the nominal and actual geometry are much different from each-other.

 

 

 

 

Image two shows the "green" point - that is where i clicked on the model, the orange point shown is where the physical point moves to for no apparent reason

 

Image 3 shows the feature window and point AFTER executing the feature, the nominal and actual now match but are entirely incorrect to the actual spot on the model that I wanted to create the point at.

In evaluation do you have the stylus radius correction checked?

Yes, the issue seems to occur regardless of what probe I have in, and the actual to nominal distance the point moves is inconsistent from one point to the next.

Ok, I fixed the issue. It turned out being the 'round-off measure' setting shown below. Apparently, the new machine tab defaulted to .100 so it was rounding the nominal point by up to .1

See how your nominals rounded to .X   Go to Extras > Settings > Measurement and set nominals round to .XXXX
