I need to create and use a cylinder tip with a flat bottom. I need to be able to touch on flat bottom and on diameter side. I added this tip to probe.dat file for a 3mm diameter x 40mm total length:
ITEM:TIP3BY40MMSHNK M2
begintip
ribcount 10
color 142 142 142
cylinder 0 0 0 0 0 -3 3
cone 0 0 -3 3 0 0 -10 2
color 255 0 0
cylinder 0 0 -10 0 0 -40 3
hotspot 0 0 -40 0 0 1 3 30 shank
endtip
Problem is I cannout get tip to work on flat bottom and on diameter side with one entry. When I change the hotspot 3 to 0 it works on the flat bottom but goes to center of diameter not side and when I have it as entered it touchs on diameter side but it is 3mm above the hit in Z.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
