CAD=PART Problem

[Simon.Duncan]

Hi Guys, this is probably me being A moron but when I am writing a new program for A new jig we have I import the .IGES file (correct jig, checked multiple times) we usually use the 3-2-1 iterative alignment and everything works fine. But when I am trying to do it on this jig it is saying position out of stroke on the X axis and wont let me measure the alignment. so click close then execute program and manually touch the 6 points and usually it then asks me to position the probe over each point then the machine measures them. This is the code after I do that. (I know the Theos and actl are different but every other time it still runs fine).

So when I insert A auto circle to measure it always misses because of this alignment and will not measure anything.

Thanks. any help is much appreciated.

When I execute and manually measure the points it then asks to move the probe to the coordinates and when the cmm measures its a few mm away from where the point is on the CAD. tried taking pics to show but will not let me upload sorry.

The point on the CAD is just above the top right corner of the '3' and this is where the machine measures for this point.

Make sure to set CAD to Machine is set correctly.
