Curcular Move After...

[JCollins]

Ver 4.2 is playing with me here...grrrr. Anyway what is happening is after I completed measuring a DCC circle the CMM makes a large circular move...I have toggled off "use Circular moves on round features" and still getting the same results....I am at a lose...

Any help is appreciated

Thanks,

Jamie

Is there a MOVE/CIRCULAR command in your feature? What type of feature measured or auto?

Sometimes it is hidden in your hits. turn on showhits.

There are TWO places (with some controllers) that control the circular moves. Check in the F5 setup screen, it's on the 'third' page of all those little things you can check. It can also be in the MACHINE INTERFACE setup.

"use Circular moves on round features" is unchecked

and when i stop it manully I get the following Error

IDTF: Circular Move Data Error

Thanks for the help

Just a tip, if you put the word CODE inside square brackets [] before the code and then the word /CODE in square brackets at the end of your code, it will look just like it does in Pcdmis.

Just a tip if you put [noparse][/noparse] tags around what you don't want parsed you can post things like [code][/code].

I'll leave you alone now, not sure why your my mark today. I was lost without you last week. I had to argue with Bill for a whole day because you were gone. Don't do that to me again man.

Are these external features? Is it going back to the starting point of the next feature?

What is the "CHECK/ 50,1" command doing, I am not familiar with that.

That is check distance, I think, and that value is set WAY TOO HIGH I would think.

[JCollins]

The Check Distance box lets you enter the distance in either inches or millimeters (depending on the measurement system used for the part) past the theoretical hit location that the machine will continue to search for the surface of the part until it determines the surface is not there.

[dwade]

Was working with V4.2 last week and saw this. Go to "Insert > Move" there is a place to set circular moves on or off.
