Importing a Star Probe in Simulation / Geometry not correct

[[Co...]]

Hi all,

I am having some difficulty with this and I feel like there has to be some step I am missing that would make it a whole lot easier than trying to manually adjust every styli so that it visually appears to make contact with the part as it should. I just created a new 4PointStar that has 12 styli to pick from. It looks like everything works in the +X, +Y, -X and -Y but as soon as I rotate the head to the A45_B0 or A90_B0, none of my Styli are working as they should be. It looks like they Geometry worked as it should when I built it up in the Stylus System Creator but it only lets me build up those first 4 styli and the remainder needs to be imported through the RC File. Importing went fine but functionally, they aren't working.

Does anyone have advice on best way to approach or fix this?

I have the same issue it will only do x+/- and Y=+/- correctly

I gave up on importing certain types of probes and having it correct.

I just adjust each one as needed and move on.

You could create a separate probe for each of the star styli at the specified angle in SSC, import with correct geometry and then copy past to your official probe.

I do this for Disk probes.

Create a probe with a Ø2mm sphere tip in the same configuration as the Disk setup.

Create separate angles

Use the coords and vectors and paste to my official Disk probe.

Works good that way.

Have you checked out this article on knowledge base? I seem recall having this issue back when I was using an RDS head and the fix was following the step about transferring stylus data. Hope this helps!
