[Ri...] Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I don't know why but some probes get stuck at a specific articulation and every time you pick up the stylus, it issues an unnecessary articulation. This is just unneeded wear and tear on the RDS unit. Granted I have to rotate A to 90°, but all this other BS....Really... Can we force a stylus to always be at A0B0 before and after stylus change?

[Ju...] Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I know that the active stylus once a stylus system is picked up is whichever stylus is active when the Probing System Qualification window is closed. Maybe it works the same for articulation?

[Je...] Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 . When I working with an RDS, I remember cheesing it to do what you are asking, Rick. The unnecessary articulations bothered me, too. I think my workaround was either what Justin mentioned, or I think it articulates to the A-B of the last stylus system created and/or qualified. .

It doesn't seem to make a difference.

[To...] Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Whenever you pick up an RDS-CAA Stylus system, it sees A90 B0 as a valid position so it doesn't index back to A0 B0 like a standard RDS Stylus System. As mentioned earlier, the position that a standard RDS Stylus System is in when you close the Probing System Qualification window is the position it will return to when picked up.
