I have a Datum -C- outside cylinder that I need to manually probe however it is 30° in the Z/Y direction. The 30° probe has been created and qualified (Z-/Y- vector)

 

Thanks,

If it's for Calypso, then use Resources -> Measurement Plan Editor Features -> Select "Man CNC Mode" and select MAN for your needed feature.

It is Calypso, also I didn't properly describe what I am trying to do.

Sorry for the poor "MS Paint" picture. I want to drive the probe in the direction of the arrows using the joysticks when doing a manual alignment. Right now my only option would be to use the Z(-) and Y(-) joysticks which is not ideal due to the small amount of clearance.

Brown arrow should be Z, pink arrow would be X/Y direction. I know it can be done in PC-DMIS, do not have a machine nearby to see what that move option is right now which might be similar if possible in Calypso.

If you created an alignment normal to the hole, you could use the drop down in the Stop Light menu to set the joysticks to move to that alignment (As I do not have a program with additional alignments, my options are only Base Alignment or CMM System)image.thumb.png.a590f87e49d9e2d939cf38291ed86aaa.png

Thank you, that worked.

It was View>Move in Part Alignment System>Joysticks: Move to>(drop down menu of Alignments)
