We have a built star probe (comes preassembled and can't be taken apart) that I am trying to use and no one here has ran it in quite some time. I can't, for the life of me, find it in the dropdown box in the probe utilities window. It's a 4 probe star that measures 30mm across probe center to probe center. Anyone have any idea what this is called in the probe utilities?

When you say 4 probe star, do you mean 3 probes at 120 degrees apart and the 4th pointing down or 4 at 90 degrees with 1 pointing down? The later would actually be a 5 probe star.
Also besides the length of the styli, what is the diameter of the ruby? In line with Kp61dude!, what is the thread size?PC-DMIS 2016.0 SP8

Update: I didn't get the probe I was asking about to work so I built a star probe on a 5-way end. The reason I didn't use that originally was because it was shanking out during calibration (the 4 start are 2mm10 tips and a 4mm20 pointing down). I'm running a SP25 head with the SM25 module so it had to scan calibrate to start and I can't change the calibration angle on the sphere for scan calibrations. I let it shank out for the scan calibration then went back and did a points calibration where I can change the attack angle on the sphere. Scan calibration was out but the points cal was good since no shank. Yes, I ran a master probe first (always) selecting "yes sphere has moved then calibrated the star selecting "no".Remembering my beautiful wife Taz who's life was lost on 6-13-2020. I love you and I miss you.

by JVau425033Is tha a way to add a 1mmx10mm to the probe builder? I need to build a star probe using 4 1x10. The building list only show 1x15 as the smaller.
