Probe in graphics window.

Been away from this for awhile just getting back into it. can't remember this but when programming in the graphics window how do you show active probe on screen.

Click on the probe icon in the tool bar.

Sorry I didn't explain myself better. what I'm looking for is that in 2017 you could go to insert machine, pick your machine apply, close then open that window up again and answer the question no machine close it and you would only show the probe in graphics window. That way it would show the operator where to take a manual hit when prompted to pick up a surface. It looks like they have removed that option from that menu.

probe utilities, double click the component and check the box to draw it, if you mean what I think

I'd like to be able to turn off the probe image in my graphics window. As soon as I align, there it is, obstructing my view of the part.

Ugh.

The way I do it is back save to the older version that allowed that. Open the program in that version and then add the "no machine" to the program. Then when you open it in the newer version it will be there.

A tip if your probe is in your way....

Go to EDIT\GRAPHIC DISPLAY WINDOW\LIGHTING/MATERIALS....go to "Lighting" tab. You can make stuff in your graphics window transparent and can see through your probe and still click surfaces even if its in your way

Thanks schrocknroll I will give that a try. New computer just have 2018 now. I know it worked in 2017. When I get a chance I will download 2017 and give it a try.

You still working? I figured you would be retired on a beach somewhere.
