Undesired Auto Feature Probe Path

[RanDawgg]

I'm having an issue with the red circled probe path. I over exaggerated the avoidance move for clarity. I'm having trouble finding how to get rid of this probe move. I have the same issue whether I select auto circle or auto cylinder. When I click and drag on the move, it rotates the hits? If I right click on it and select "delete", it just deletes one hitpoint, but the probe path stays the same. Anyone have any ideas? Workplane is in the +Z if it matters. It also is only happening on angled holes.

Do you have Void Detection turned on? When is it trying to move to the undesired location, beginning, end?

[RanDawgg]

I toggled it on and off, didn't seem to have any effect. It's at the beginning, tied to the first contact hit.

What's preceding? A probe rotation?

[RanDawgg]

It's a move point followed by a probe rotation followed by the circle.

[RanDawgg]

I have the clearance cube toggled on, and it sort of seems like it is using a -Y clearance move. I tried to deactivate it to see if that is the cause, but I can't deactivate it once it's been activated.

[RanDawgg]

I brought the CAD model into a separate program without the clearance cube activated, and that probe path isn't there. I'm assuming that this is the problem. Is there a way to disable it for particular features?

[Darrollh]

You have to go into advanced settings for Clearance Cube to turn on and off that feature or change the path the probe takes. I usually use Tip Vector for something quick but if you’re looking for a smooth program, use the advance settings to make the probe do what you want. It takes practice if you’re use to using clearplanes.

Problem solved. Thank you very much.
