How to save edits on line scan

[dwade]

I am wanting to know how to edit the location of my hits without having to change every "Z" location on my line scan.

I "F9" the "FEAT/SCAN", change my locations at the targets and direction points, then "F9" the BASICSCAN/LINE" and change my "Z" points but they will change in the "SHOWHITS" unless I change each one at a time.

How can I make this change to all of my hit locations at once? The part has changed and "Z" location was at 10mm and I want to make all 8mm. I've got several prg's to do this to and I don't want to spend forever doing it.

If it is a straight Z axis shift, insert an aligment just before the scan, when it asks if you want to update all the nominals for the following features, tell it no, then delete the alignment and tell it yes when it asks if you want to update the features. OR, it might be the other way around, yes first, then no second. I am not 100% sure and I have nothing to try it on. OF COURSE, you should do this with a BACK-UP COPY of the original program.

-OR- you can just insert the alignment before the scan, then a second alignment after the scan going back to where you were.

You could also do a pattern paste.

Edit-pattern, change the z axis move(-2mm). Pattern paste 1 time.

If I understand the question correctly, all you need to do is change the definition of the scan from a Z of 10 to a z of 8 and then click the generate button and the probe path will re-gen to the new nominal definition.

The re-gen will only work if there is correct cad data.
