Grouped curves and RDS angles

[[Br...]]

I have an issue with some grouped curve segments using the RDS/XXT sensor where at the end of the scan the RDS wants to change angles before it goes to the clearance plane. For the life of me I cannot see where the command to change angles is coming from. Has anyone ever encountered this?

Do you use a CMM position after the curve segment strategy? If you create a curve with the intended RDS angle, then later came back to add CMM position, I believe it uses the current RDS angle active on the CMM instead of feature's angle.

No the strategy is just 3 curve segments grouped together. No clearance distance, no extra moves. Should just retract and move to the clearance plane when its done. I copied the curve from another curve and modified it. I noticed it is going back to the angle from the previous curve so it must have something to do with that. I even completely deleted the strategies and remade them but it still does it.

I might be mistaken, but I don't think you can set an RDS angle for clearance data. Is your strategy set up as Clearance, segment, clearance, segment, clearance, segment in the strategy? Do you know if your clearance data has the "before, after, or before and after measurement" applied? Calypso may be confused on what RDS angle is applied to each specific clearance data, even though the segments have a specific angle.

Nope just Segment,Segment,Segment. but they are grouped. so they say grouped segments or something. If I ungroup them it works fine which is the workaround.
