CMM program wants a probe that isn't in the program.

[[Ri...]]

I have this one stubborn program, every time I open it, I am warned that a probe is not available.

Combo86R-2

It is not used in the program; it has never been used in the program.

Any ideas on how I may be able to find a rogue entry in some file?

Have you checked the stylus system dropdown in the measurement plan editor features?

I know that probe names show up in the inspection file if I search for them.

Have you checked which stylus is used under "Meaasurement Plan Editor Features"?

Or are there any known position points that might have been misassigned?

I have checked the obvious, Measurement Plan Editor, no entries shown.

I did find entries in "inspec" and "inspection" files.

Editing those entries caused some weird problems (Altered the entries to be Combo86R). 😂

I could not find an "#identifier" within plus or minus 30 lines of the "Combo86R-2" line.

CMM positions and start/end park positions are sneaky places where probes can be assigned, but are not visible via the Plan Editor.

could also be hiding in an 'intermediate point' in a strategy , perhaps you wont see that in the plan editor. 

 

 I've had this happen occasionally while opening and reviewing strategies etc.

You could try assigning a different stylus system and then changing it back, to try and overwrite any hidden problems 🤷‍♂️

That was my next suggestion as well, this might cover any intermediate points that are mis-assigned, if you just re-assign all probes in the test editor...

Another place to check is your CMM END PARK POSTION 

there might be a Stylus/system in there that no longer exists.
